Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 16)    

Plenty of pace with Baton Rouge and Glenalmond up front, pressured by Waloyo Yamoni and Etoilefillante. Strong race. SUPERHERO (3) hasn’t been far away since a maiden win three runs back, the latest effort a third over 1800m at Kenilworth. Meets the winner Baton Rouge far better at the weights. Expected to go close. MASTER COINER (1) started favourite last time over 1800m at Kenilworth but could only manage second when he was always up in the leading division. The extra journey should play into his hands. Sure to be about the money. GLENALMOND (10) didn't do a bad job when second last start over 2000m at Fairview All Weather, beaten 1.3 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Won only try course and distance. This is well within his grasp. BATON ROUGE (8) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1800m contest at Kenilworth last time out by 2 lengths. Led throughout last time and although up in weight will give a sight again.
