A solid tempo anticipated with Avvertimento and Lord Percy ahead of Voldemort and Raetihi. GRINZINGER BISHOP (3) is a pretty consistent gelding backing up sharply here. On breeding wants twice as far but still can run well. YAKI ISHI (7) could well be a surprise. Some Darwin runs are decent enough for this. VOLDEMORT (6) comes into this third up and gets better into his campaigns. Expecting he will be fitter again and be hitting the line well. Just has to be close enough and not give away too much ground. NATIVE CLAN (11) is proven at this distance so can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yaki Ishi looks the play.
