Solid tempo expected primarily from The Mikado and Mike's Mazarin. ARVERNI KING (7) is better than his last start run over 3000m would suggest. His form prior to that outing was consistent. He has won once, finished second four times and third three times from 13 starts on this course. If putting his best foot forward, he should be fighting out the finish. TROIS TROIS QUATRE (5) was running on well when second of seven over 1750m last time out. If getting away to a clean start, he should be hard to beat. ROYAL INVITATION (4) has finished fourth in her last two starts, the latest of which was in a tough line-up. She drops back in class and is well worth considering. PLUM PUDDING (2) made it back-to-back wins when winning last start over 1600m at Greyville All Weather. Jumping from an inside draw can make it a hat-trick.
