Evan Almighty, Time Honored and Konnichiwa will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Rockanrollin and Bugle Boy. WORLD WARRIOR (5) showed good improvement when second over 1200m last time. The manner in which he stayed on at the finish suggests that he will love the rise to 1500m. He is having his peak run today and with Richard Fourie retaining the ride, he can go one better. YAMAZAK (2) raced from a handy position over 1600m last time, but found one too good on the day. Well worth considering. KONNICHIWA (8) has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. He will strip much fitter and must be considered. ROCKANROLLIN (13) has run two decent races to date. The well-bred son of Wootton Bassett should love the rise to 1500m. The obvious concern is the widest draw but with luck in the running, he can place.
