Masterofthedesert and Green Gateway will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. Even race but hard not to like GREEN GATEWAY (6) who was put away after an impressive win on debut. Given time and sure to have come on. Nice weight and expected to go close again. SCOTTISH KISS (7) has the fitness edge and is in great form, winning last two runs. Course and distance winner last time and likely to sit off and wind up strongly. GIMMELIGHTNING (4) has three placings from six runs this prep and last start finished half a length from the winner in third over 1400m here. Overdue for a win and will be winding up strongly. MASTEROFTHEDESERT (1) finished off last campaign with an empathic win. Has the inside and can run a bold race fresh.
