Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. KING OF SPIN (2) won a game race over this distance on the polytrack last time. He is in a good space and can follow up with another victory. LICENCE TO THRILL (6) rallied late when fourth over this course and distance last time. If getting away to a clean start, he should be involved in the fight to the finish. BOURBON WARRIOR (1) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a nose into second over 1200m at Greyville All Weather when sent out as the favourite. Best figures measure up well and is sure to prove hard to beat. QUANDARY (3) has not appeared since he finished third over 1200m at this track on June 29. He has placed previously when produced fresh-up and isa must include in exotic bets.
