|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. EXOCET (2) finished fourth over this distance, beaten 1.75 lengths, when resuming at his latest outing. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from three starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Jockey is unbeaten and back aboard. Promising and will go close. ROMAN AGENT (6) was well fancied but below his best at the last run before a break on June 12, finishing seventh over 1200m at Fairview All Weather. Starts this prep with Muzi Yeni taking charge. Muzi Yeni has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Leading contender. LICENCE TO THRILL (9) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1200m, beaten 0.6 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Ready to win. CAPTAIN'S PRIDE (14) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1400m at Greyville. Has sound form here including a win and four minor placings from eight starts. Big run is expected.
