Verdict

ALWAYS ON SAFARI (1) went back from a wide gate on the second line last start and didn't really threaten when 14 metres from the winner in fifth at this track over 1 ¹/16m. Meets a comparable field and from a far better starting position he can figure in the finish. HOOKLINEANDSINKER (3) ran fourth last start at this circuit over 1 ¹/16m, beaten 12 metres. Expected to run well. TO THE NINES (8) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1 5/16m at Charlton. Great chance to break through. ROCKNROLL LENNY (9) must be respected after scoring last start by 7 metres here over 1 ¹/16m. Top-three aspirations.
