Cognac can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Cognac likely to find himself in front. COGNAC (4) made debut wth an emphatic victory, scoring an effortless win over this trip at Scottsville. Has good upside and worth following up. Plenty of other hopes though. CIRCUMBENDIBUS (7) was a fresh-up winner then placed last time as favourite. First try here but super consistent at the trip and expected to feature again. MIGHTY ZAMBEZI (10) is worth keeping very safe. Finished last campaign at Grade 2 level when midfield and not far from the winner. Well placed this grade and expecting a big return. MAGIC SURPRISE (5) proved too strong two runs ago here then placed on the all weather last time. Nice weight and worth another try.
