There is pace across the barriers. AKVAVIT has just missed the three runs back all heavily backed and didn’t have the best of it the latest. Draws low and keeps Pike and clearly rates to win this up to the 1200m. I AM SPARTACUS won the Maiden here 2U and it was deserved. If there’s won to test the above it’s him. CAN HE RULE HER wasn’t far away resuming in stronger at long odds. Draws low and can fill a spot with a repeat. METALLIC BELLE got close here the latest and looks next best.
SUGGESTED PLAY: Very keen on Arkavit.
