Good tempo anticipated with Infinite Matrix and Overhymn leading the way. INFINITE MATRIX (2) races forward and brings three narrow defeats. The extra meters shouldn't be an issue, and he can go one better. GUSMAO (1) resumes and has placed 3/4 fresh. Has the rails gate and owns a win at the jump-outs. Looks ready to go and has the ability. PORT LOUIS (4) went well at Horsham two back, and that's the best indicator of his ability. Peaks and Harry Grace is reunited, replacing the apprentice. SAINT OF KATOWICE (9) wasn't far off the mark in his return and has drawn to hopefully settle closer. Well placed with the claim and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Infinite Matrix.
