Unable to land a blow when sixth of 12 over 7f here (handicap) last month; a prolific C&D winner; jockey booking is a positive; hard to dismiss as could be suited by this step up in trip and his nice draw is a bonus.

Verdict

A fairly open heat but BACCHUS gets the nod. He is expected to confirm placings after he got the better of Count Huhtikuu and Don't Cry For Me when last seen and should find this easier than the SA Derby. Artist's Model has won over C&D.
