A strong tempo is anticipated. GOLDEN PEACE (2) is better than his last start run over 1750m at Scottsville would suggest. He won his only attempt over this distance. He is a horse with ability and with luck in the running may be the one to beat. BRENDEN JAMES (7) won a good race over 1600m on this course last time. He has won twice and finished second twice from seven starts over this course and distance. Has solid each-way claims. SLINGS AND ARROWS (1) is better than his last start run over 1200m would suggest. He has won twice, finished second twice and third twice from 11 starts over this course and distance. He is likely to race up on the speed and may be hard to peg back. CHEEKY LADDIE (12) found plenty when winning by a neck two runs back at this track. Should be figuring in the finish again.
