Strong pace from Solar Sail, Master Josh and Two Miles West. GO GRAYSON GO (6) set the pace over 1600m at Scottsville last time, but found one too good on the day. He finished second in his only attempt over this distance. His penultimate run when third over 1600m on this course catches the eye. Serino Moodley steps back into the saddle and he can return to winning form. SOLAR SAIL (3) ran a bold racer when third last time. He returns from a spell which may have done him the world of good. He does prefer further, but is the best-weighted runner and merits healthy respect. DOWN BY THE RIVER (5) ran an improved race when finishing midfield at long odds last start at Greyville All Weather. Worth including in exotic bets for value. MASTER JOSH (7) resumes from a spell and having placed fresh-up previously can surprise.
