IRISH MORNING has very good consistent form lines to his credit. He has won four times, finished second once and third once from seven starts over this C&D. He is making his comeback to races after a 27-week break and returns to Handicap company. He has class about him and if not in need of the run, he should be too good for this field. SAFE RETURN finished 0.2 lengths behind RESONATE in his last start. He is 0.5kgs better off at the weights and there should not be much separating the pair in the run down to the line. RESONATE is lightly raced with some good form to his credit. His penultimate run when winning over this C&D catches the eye. Aldo Domeyer steps back into the saddle and the combination merit healthy respect. FIFTY FIVER may have found the 1000m in the Non-Black Type Need For Speed Sprint on the sharp side. He won his maiden over this distance by 5.25 lengths. Richard Fourie takes the ride and he should contest the finish.
