Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. NIGHT BOMBER (4) faded late when fourth of 15 over 1160m on the Standside course last time. He has won three times and finished second twice from ten starts over this distance. The blinkers should keep his mind on the task at hand and he may be hard to peg back. PASSAGE OF POWER (5) is better than his last start run would suggest as he was reported to be not striding out. On previous form, he should be involved in the fight to the line. YAMADORI (2) was reported to be coughing last time. He has finished second once and third once from as many starts on this course. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he should go close to taking this race out. LEAD THE CHARGE (3) returns from a spell. He won his only attempt over this course and distance. His last victory came under S'manga Khumalo and he can't be ignored.
