Moderate tempo with El James leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. Hard to fault the form of MAKDANE (8) who has won his last two. This is tougher and tricky gate but drops a kilo and Williams stays aboard. Has good speed and will take catching again. JUJA KIBO (13) just missed fresh and then placed again when stepping to a mile. Fitter and extra trip a plus. Ready now and should go close. SIR ATLAS (2) ran well fresh over seven furlongs in tougher grade. Wide draw but has a great second-up record and extra journey a huge plus. Can improve sharply. RUAKAKA RAIDER (7) has been racing in tougher class. Wide draw but suited here and looks hard to hold out late. VALLEY KING (14) looks ready to show best after two runs back. Has won third-up and with a big finish will be closing fast. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Makdane.
