A strong pace on the cards with Red William, Allaroundtheworld and French Trip likely to roll along early. RED WILLIAM (1) set the pace over 1950m at Scottsville last time and fought on to finish fourth. He tries the 2300m for the first time and if he sees out the extra distance on offer, he can take this out. FRENCH TRIP (3) followed up his maiden victory with a good second-place finish over 1750m at Scottsville. He set the pace that day before getting outrun late and from a good draw he should go close to winning this. BLACKBERRY BREEZE (6) is having his first run for the Alyson Wright stable. It must be noted that the horse that finished third in his last outing has come out and won since. If settled into his new surroundings, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest. ALLAROUNDTHEWORLD (2) has fair recent form lines to his name. The manner in which he has been finishing off his races suggests that he will be suited to 2300m. If Calvin Habib can get him to settle early on then he can figure in the finish at some each-way value.
