A competitive looking maiden but IMPERATOR AUGUSTUS will be difficult to beat following his good run behind much better fancied stablemate Park Avenue over 7f last month where he led to the furlong pole. Equus Ferus attracted support in a handicap over 6f a fortnight ago but didn't get the clearest of runs before staying on and will appreciate the extra furlong. Dazzle Them was totally unfancied on his second start here a month ago but ran a superb race to get within a short-head of Joe Eile and further progress will see him in the fiing line. Flic Flac came up against a decent performer when runner-up to Dubawi Star and those who backed him into favouritism will be looking for compensation. Girl Guide is another who can get involved as there was plenty to like about her run over the minimum trip here last time.
