Plenty of pressure on from the outset with some speedy types engaged in the good-sized field. BOUNCEBACK (4) showed good improvement when fourth of 11 over 1250m on this course, last time when resuming from a spell. The manner in which he stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. He is a progressive type and should love the rise to 1400m. From his good draw of four, he may find himself in the winner's enclosure. MR BELVEDERE (11) took the lead at the 300m mark last time before getting outrun late. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. With a bit of luck in running, he should go close to taking this race out. CHIEF RUNNER (1) should have finished closer to the winner on debut. He jumped awkwardly when leaving the start and hung over the final 500m. If he can settle better in the running can place. ROYAL PORT LOUIS (8) stayed on when second over this course and distance last time. He is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. Include in exotic bets.
