|---|---|---|---|---|

Expecting a very strong tempo with lots of early pressure, predominantly from Downing Seven, Light Without and Alado's Pride. PUERTO PLATA (7) hails from the Alan Greeff stable. He finished close up in third place last time. He is better off at the weights today and should be the one to beat. SLAINTE MHATH (12) has good recent form lines to his credit. He was second behind the top pick in the race referred to above and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish. SAN QUINTIN (16) was outclassed at Listed level last time out. If finding the form of his penultimate victory, he may be the one to cause the upset. HEAD GARDENER (14) fought hard for his last victory over 2000m on this course. He is likely to race on the speed from his good draw and he can follow up with another victory.
