Kohana can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Kohana likely to find himself in front. HOLOCENE (1) is one of the better bets on today's card. He ran a fair race when fifth over this distance on the turf last time. He drops back in class. He is drawn wide in barrier nine but gets the services of Richard Fourie who will give him all the necessary assistance needed from the saddle. HOSPICES DE BEAUNE (6) found betting support when winning his last start over this course and distance. He takes on stronger rivals but is in a good space and should give a good account of himself. FEARLESS BADGER (10) ran a fair race when fifth over 2000m on the turf last time. He was tightened leaving the start but stayed on well at the finish. In this field, he should be fighting out the finish. KOHANA (4) returns from a long spell and tackles a synthetic track for the first time. Expected to return in good order and can place.
