Strong tempo with Fort Red and Major Apollo leading the way over Heritage Ridge. GALACTUS (7) did his best work late and finished 2 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1000m at Kenilworth, an improvement on his eighth at Kenilworth the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. HERITAGE RIDGE (8) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1200m at Kenilworth. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BARNEY MCGREW (4) finished second last time over 1000m at Kenilworth when resuming from a spell, beaten a long neck. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. MAJOR APOLLO (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on May 31 when beaten 2 lengths into fifth at Kenilworth over 1000m after being prominent until the final stages. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
