Solid tempo headed by Khumbila and French Marine. KHUMBILA (4) comes through some handy races of late as the winner and stable finds a well-used claim. At the ideal trip can hold his slashing form. BULLY FOR YOU (2) aims up for his third win in three weeks and handles all conditions. Weighted up where it hurts but can't knock winning form. EAU DE VIE (3) gets conditions to suit and races well here. Can easily bounce back. HERB (5) gets a key jockey change after fighting on well first up in the wet. Look for another competitive result. SUGGESTED PLAY: Khumbila win.
