Plenty of pressure with Good To Great, Falcon Strike and Prized Platinum leading the charge. CAPTAIN EFFICIENT (3) has consistent form lines to his credit. He stayed on when second over this course and distance last time. Gavin Lerena steps back into the saddle and fresh-up can return to winning form. PRIZED PLATINUM (5) has good recent form lines to his name. He showed pace over 1200m at Scottsville last time, before getting caught late. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. SAKHALA IS'CATHULO (2) is better than his last start run at Scottsville would suggest. Well worth an each-way ticket. MARIACHI MADNESS (7) resumes from a spell following a last start fourth over 1160m at this track. Fresh-up is well worth a second look.
