Hot pace certain with Mister Tudor, Gitalong and Drums Of War keen to take up the running. The penny has dropped for MISTER TUDOR (9) who has two wins and a second from his past three outings with rider Savva being in the stirrups for all three efforts. Racing high on confidence and should be right there at the business end. DRUMS OF WAR (7) will strip fitter second-up from the break and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside marble. Can make his presence felt. I AM A WINNER (3) is improving with racing and looks to be building up to another victory. In the mix with the claim. GITALONG (1) has placed three of three over this sprint journey and is a must for the exotics players. ANOTHER VEUVE (11) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mister Tudor to continue the rich vein of form.
