Good pace from Manz Knight, Lady Is A Champ and Wave Warrior and they'll have company. SPECTACULAR (2) was running on well when fifth of 12 over this distance at Kenilworth last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. Apprentice Jacey Botes takes the 4kgs off his back and if taking to the surface, he may be the one to beat. COUNT MARSH (8) stayed on well at the finish when fourth of nine over 1600m on this course last time. With luck in the running, he would not be a shock winner. SHINY BOB (5) stayed on well when second of nine over 1600m on this course last time. He finished second in his only attempt over this distance, three runs back. If jumping on level terms with his rivals should be figuring in the finish. WAVE WARRIOR (6) resumed from a spell and finished third of nine last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at this track. Won his only start last prep and in a fitter state today rates well as a leading chance.
