Abundant pace from Boom Shakalaka, Force De Dieu and Real War vying for the lead with Gorgeous Guy on their backs. WISSA'S ON FIRE (6) last start finished last of 11 as the favourite but that run is best forgotten as he took off going to the start which took a lot out of him and he was not persevered with in the race. His run two back when second over 1000m on this course catches the eye. He will be at peak fitness for this outing and can atone. HONOR OF KINGS (3) is better than his last start run for sixth of 13 over 1400m at Kenilworth would suggest. He won his only attempt over this distance. Should be fighting out the finish. GORGEOUS GUY (8) raced handy to the speed and battled on well to finish a nose second of 11 over 1200m at this track last time out. Expected to give a bold sight again. ALL THE TIME (7) has two placings from three runs this prep. Only finished eighth of 11 last start at this track but can bounce back to form in this line-up.
