THE LAST SCIP (5) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by a nose over 1m here last time out. Has a formidable combination with Jeiron Barbosa who has been aboard for his last two wins. Bold showing expected. Multiple Group 3 placegetter THE KING CHEEK (1) was in contention on the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PRINCE KHOZAN (3) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 1m1f at this track (Turf), beaten one length. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of a big run. POWER BACK (9) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by one length over 1m at this track (Turf). Well placed to feature in the finish again.
