Solid tempo with Digital Warfare to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. LOVE FROM AFAR (1) met with solid support last start over 1400m at Fairview All Weather when second, beaten 2.25 lengths. Overdue for a win. Nice alley and can make amends. MONKEY'S WEDDING (2) finished 1.75 lengths away in third last time out at Fairview All Weather. On a seven-day back-up. Nice run last time and shapes as a major threat. WINDOW TO MY SOUL (3) is a 13-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 11 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1900m at Fairview All Weather. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. CARAVANTOVACCARES (10) is a well-related three-year-old gelding lining up for the first time. By Erik The Red from Gypsy Madonna who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Ready to run well despite an awkward barrier.
