|---|---|---|---|---|

Ardechois and Buffalo Rise possess good early speed. BUFFALO RISE (1) was prominent at the turn but failed to live up to expectations over 900m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Finds a nice race and can atone. TONY PRINCE (4) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a neck at this track. Has six wins here. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Likely to feature. ARDECHOIS (7) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 12 lengths into 15th over 1400m at Ohi. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. CRYSTALLIZE (10) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
