Kingdundee, First Origin and Play Act to match motors but there will be other pressure. KINGDUNDEE (1) was an easy winner of his last start. He resumes from a spell which would have done him the world of good. He is loaded with ability and can keep his unbeaten record over this course and distance. FIRST ORIGIN (4) is better than his last start run would suggest as he was reported to be not striding out. He finished 2.25 lengths behind the top choice in his penultimate run. He is 1kg better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result. CLIFF TOP (2) was an easy winner of his last start over this distance on the polytrack. Has each-way claims. ANUSCHKA'S WORLD (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when eighth over 1200m at Kenilworth two weeks ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around.
