Track: AW   Clouds (Max: 21)    

Policy Of Truth, Field Marshal and Burning Man to take up the running at a decent tempo. FIELD MARSHAL (2) has been in good form recently. He raced from a handy position over 1950m at Scottsville last start and fought on strongly to finish runner-up. He takes a drop-in class. Gavin Lerena takes the ride and if suited to the polytrack, he can go one better. BLAZING LIGHT (4) ran a good race when second over 1900m on this course last time. He has a strong record over the trip and will be right in the finish again from a good gate. TIN CUP (5) is better than his last start on the turf. He won a good race in his penultimate start and if he puts his best foot forward, he should be involved at the finish. POWER STAR (12) rallied late when fourth over 1750m at Scottsville last time out. He is having his peak run today and with a bit of luck from a wide draw, he won't be far away. Each way.
