The big field should ensure a genuine tempo. EL DANTE (6) had to overcome a wide draw when fourth over 1200m last time. His penultimate run when 2 lengths behind the winner over 1000m, catches the eye. He is having his peak run and has a handy draw of six. It is encouraging that Muzi Yeni retains the ride and the combination can go close. MOYA WA LALIGA (12) was an easy winner of his last start over 1200m on this course. The slight concern is that he is yet to win over this distance. However, he is in a good space and cannot be ignored. WORLD OF OUR OWN (8) was running on when fourth over 1800m on this course last time. He has finished second once and third once from as many starts over this course and distance. With a bit of luck in the running should be involved in the finish. TOBACCONIST (2) showed signs of needing his comeback run over this distance at Scottsville. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Jockey Sean Veale rides and he has each-way claims.
