A keen early contest with Launch Code prominent courtesy of the rails draw, joined by Alado's Pride and Heknows. PEDRO (5) is much better than his last start on the polytrack when sent out as the favourite would suggest. His penultimate run when second of 12 over this course and distance was a solid effort. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from eight starts on this course. If putting his best foot forward, he can notch up his fifth-career victory. HEAD GARDENER (8) fought on well to score over this distance on the polytrack last start in what was his second run this prep. He will strip fitter today and has top-three claims. LAUNCH CODE (3) showed good improvement in his last start over this course and distance. S'manga Khumalo is in the saddle and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. MEETATTHEWINDSOR (4) raced well below his best last time, finishing eighth of 11 over 1300m at Fairview All Weather. Has his share of talent and in this line-up can atone.
