Hot tempo expected with The Grey King, Prince Of Taranto and Sundance Kid heading the charge. FORMAGEAR (5) stayed on well when finishing fourth of 11 last time. He won his only attempt over this course and distance three starts back. S'manga Khumalo steps back into the saddle and having won fresh-up previously rates highly. THE GREY KING (1) ran a good race when finishing second of 13 last time out. He returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. If not in need of the run he should give a good account of himself. MUCHO DINERO (6) is a winner of his last four starts. He returns from a spell and fresh-up should prove hard to beat. QUEUE WING (9) stayed on well when finishing sixth of 11 last start. He has won twice, finished second twice and third once from nine starts over this distance. Has each-way claims.
