Strong tempo with Tydeus, All Clubs and Spiritual Gal leading the way. KOVA (3) resumes and is a noted fresh performer, having been consistent last campaign against tougher opposition. Gets in well with the claim and is a five-time winner over this trip, making him a leading player. MCKEEVER (1) returned with a bang here two weeks ago, putting nearly 4L on his nearest rival. His second-up record isn’t strong, but it’s hard to ignore him off that dominant win. TYDEUS (2) was a determined winner fresh and backed it up with a sound chasing effort behind Mckeever last time. Gets a pull at the weights and strips fitter. Worth some thought. MESSERSCHMITT (4) is a likely improver with that run under the belt and is worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kova to return with a bang.
