Plenty of pace established by One Scotch, French Flame and Giambattista, with Sundance Kid close at hand. PLAZA ACCORD (4) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at Greyville over 1400m. J Jacobs stays aboard and the combination can score again. TYRCONNELL (2) wasn't far away last time out, finishing fourth over 1400m at Greyville after he got a long way back in the run. The extra journey should play into his hands. Expected to run well. SUNDANCE KID (7) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1600m at Greyville after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. JP'S PALACE (5) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Greyville. Worth plenty of thought.
