Certain to be a strong tempo with Corrupt, Mo Ment and Daimyo leading the charge. Willing to give ENFLAME (10) another try. Was a 2850m winner here two back then dropped back 1000m and was solid but could manage only fourth at Vaal. Better placed back out to this journey and gets chance to atone. MO MENT (6) is a very much in-form galloper who has won his last two, the latest over 2600m and beat some of these. Has pace and will take catching again. UNITED COUNCIL (4) is fitter for two runs back and looks ready to win over the longer journey now. Is a third-up winner. BREEZE OVER (3) finished just ahead of Enflame last time but the start prior was smashed by Mo Ment. Has the ability though and can sneak into the finish.
