---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting a strong tempo, predominantly from Lightningfork, Garden Sun and Kingsboy. GOLDEN GREY (5) was running on well when second over 1600m on the turf last start when sent out as the hot favourite. The drop to 1400m may be ideal for him and he should go one better. ALWAYS SHINING (1) was touched off in his last start over 1400m on the turf. He has finished second once and third once from three starts on this course. Each-way claims. LIGHTNINGFORK (2) is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his wide draw of seven, and he will be staying on well at the business end. In the mix. GARDEN SUN (3) ran on well when third over 1200m on this course last time. He would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. With a bit of luck from the widest draw can place.
