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

Should be a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. CAST OF DIAMONDS (3) has been racing well of late with two close seconds. The distance suits plus even from a wide draw and all looks the winner here. RAAJOICES (2) was poor at last start but ran a distant placing the run before when fresh up. He has been twice placed on the course and is a third up winner. JUSTICE (1) is more a jumper these days but very fit at the moment from flat racing. Has won ton he course. WREN (7) has been modest since resuming for a new yard. Has won left and right-handed. Sly chance. EL ZORO (8) was better at his last start. Course placed. One for overs to place or be in the first four. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cast Of Diamonds is the logical winner here.
