Lord Whitegate is the probable leader in the small field. SH'BOURNE MIDNIGHT (3) has the outside barrier to deal with, but rates clear off an easy CL2 win, bet into the red. The small claim remains handy, and he just needs average luck. RIGOLETTO (7) is the danger. Improved again, narrowly beaten in better class, and he benefits from a 1.5kg claim. He can hit the line hard. DAYAN STAR (2) didn't have the best of it last time in a 68, but he's back on track and the top hoop stays aboard. He's been kept on the fresh side and should enjoy a soft run. GALLANT WARRIORS (4) gets in well with the 3kg claim and has more to give. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Sh'bourne Midnight.
