Missed the frame (beaten 8l into sixth) at Turffontein two weeks ago; this is his grade and from a powerful yard; very interesting if excused most recent run as achieved handicap success two runs back.

Verdict

LONGSWORD is hard to look beyond. He is a winner and can rebound from a modest last run. Cold Shine has won over C&D.
