Solid tempo from Phil The Fluter, Pressonregardless and Bloomington battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. BIRTHRIGHT (1) got home by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Has three wins here. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. PHIL THE FLUTER (4) is in top form with two wins on end, the latest by a head over 1450m at Turffontein Inside three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. PRESSONREGARDLESS (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 22 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. WILLOW EXPRESS (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
