Power Drive is up 8lb for a comfortable all-the-way victory under today’s rider a fortnight ago, his fourth victory on the track. Quiet Desire was gaining her second track victory when just getting home early last month and she’s been raised 5lb. She had Lariat six lengths behind that day and the latter had Rita Levi and Macaban City behind when runner-up next time. LADY OF LUXURY had Magi Gal and Matilda With Me behind when fourth to Kamira last time. The three-times track winner didn’t get the best of runs and with Alan Persse’ claim to aid her cause she’s taken to get back on the winning trail. Mutadaawel was a disappointing favourite last time.
