Loads of pressure, primarily from Strathclyde, Imposing and Giambattista. PLAZA ACCORD (8) raced from a handy position over this course and distance last time, tried hard but found one too good on the day. With a bit of luck from his awkward draw of eight can return to winning form. MOJO MAN (6) stayed on well when fifth over 1000m last time. He steps up to 1400m for the first time and the blinkers have been removed. If suited to the extra distance on offer, he should be hard to beat. LOCK AND KEY (7) progressed well last time out to finish second of 10 over 1600m at Greyville All Weather. Well placed and can go one better. TIRPITZ (4) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race when he came home well to finish fourth of 10 last time out over 1400m at this track. Well placed and is well worth an each-way ticket.
