Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Poets Warrior, Hotarubi and Shoot The Rapids prominent. ENFLAME (4) scored last time over 2850m in the LR Caradoc Gold Cup at this track, making it three victories from five appearances this preparation. Beat many of these by a long way. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. More weight but the one to beat again. SHOOT THE RAPIDS (1) produced a solid effort last time when second over 1750m in stakes class at Scottsville. The extra journey should play into his hands. Led throughout to win this course and distance at only try. Should be at top and will take running down. ALADDIN'S LAMP (3) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second behind Enflame. Meets the winner much better at the weights. Big chance. POETS WARRIOR (2) resumed last time out and finished third in the same race. Meets the winner better at the weights. Won only try course and distance. Don't underestimate.
