Verdict

Messrs Richards and Lungo do battle again with Supreme Optimist and Jupiter de Bussy renewing recent rivalries. The former posted his best racetrack performance to date at Kelso to finish just infront of Lungo's charge. Both are likely to be warm in the market but Supreme Optimist looks as if he has the more scope for development. Workaway is taken to foil them both on this occasion. Andrew Parker's representative stole a race at Kelso before prior to posting a couple of modest efforts of late. If forcing tactics are used here today, he could be very difficult to beat off his current handicap mark of 90. Tombazaan, who was previously successful for Ferdy Murphy in this country, would probably need it much softer in order to increase his chances. Venture More, from the in-form Monteith yard, is the one to watch in the market.
