Insufficient early speed to generate more than a muddling tempo. GEORGARONI (1) was overdue for a win with a strong of placings before dropping back to 1400m latest and breaking through. Back in form now and does have a good record course and distance. Can go on with it. IT'S JAGGER TIME (2) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1400m at this track. Will derive great benefit from recent racing. Ready to win and gets chance. ROYAL DISPATCH (3) got a long way back when 8 lengths from the winner in eighth over 2100m at this track last start. Best form is over a mile so may well be worth another chance. QUAFFTIDE (6) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1600m at this track a week ago, getting home by 2.75 lengths. Excellent record at this venue and is worth following up. NATIVE CLAN (5) can improve and is worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Georgaroni.
