The pace looks very strong with plenty of speed engaged. CONNOISSEUR (8) turned things around last start and got the job done by 4 lengths over 1750m at Scottsville. No reason he cannot salute again. RODRIGUEZ (10) finished fourth last time out over 1750m at Scottsville, beaten 4.5 lengths. Hard to go past. GLOBAL MOVEMENT (12) improved last start to finish second over 1750m at Scottsville. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. PONGOLA (2) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1600m at Scottsville. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
