Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 23)    

Plenty of pace from Silver Platter, Black Platina and Angel Boy J matching motors ahead of Harun Al Rashid. APACHE AG (4) produced a decent debut effort over 1400m at Scottsville. He was green in the running but the manner in which he stayed on at the finish was encouraging. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He will love the rise in distance and should make the natural improvement needed. HARUN AL RASHID (9) was his own worst enemy last time as he over raced and hung over the final 350m. With a bit of luck in the running, he should fight out the finish. LIMELIGHT LEGEND (1) found one too good last time. He will love the rise to 1800m and from pole position, he should be competitive. SILVER PLATTER (10) has finished second in his last three starts. He will strip a much fitter horse today and with luck in the running should be fighting out the finish.
