Handicap / Class C

2 1 5 10

Old Soldier WHORLY WHORLY is ideally course-and-distance suited but out of sorts and regular rider Piere Strydom sticks with CHAMPION WARRIOR instead. The latter is 1.5kg worse off with consistent FOSTINOVO but has dropped to a competitive mark and is good value to confirm his superiority over this extended trip. TRIDENT KING was an eye-catching third off his current mark over 1450m last time and needs only to repeat that performance to play another leading role. WHISPERS OF WAR, LAUGHING WILLIAM and unexposed KEY NEWS have the ability to get involved.
