Places (1-2-3-4) from Barrier Draw
SAGE KING has run two good seconds since the gelding in October. He should have won last time, as he raced wide around the turn before getting caught in the shadow of the post. He has a wide draw of eleven to overcome but with a bit of luck, he can find himself in the winner's enclosure. SILENT WAR finished 0.5 lengths behind the top choice last time. He jumps from another good draw of four and should challenge for first prize. GALACTIC PATH took on winners in his last start over 1400m. His penultimate run when finishing third over 1400m on this course, catches the eye. He will enjoy the extra furlong on offer and back against maiden company, he should go close to winning. PINEAPPLE EXPRESS was disappointing in his last start over this C&D. He has been gelded since that race which may have been what he needed. If repeating his penultimate run, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
