SOVIET COURAGE won by a street when landing the odds over 1m2f here last month. This is tougher but the runner-up has subsequently won and the Haggas gelding can go in again. Yaakoum may not have finished winning yet after scoring at Epsom a fortnight ago and Tioga Pass went close over track and trip back in August. Stablemates Black Shadow and Pack Leader have been placed at the track while the Godolphin pair Arabian Revolution and Moontime are both looking to put below par efforts behind them. Spectator is usually thereabouts and should go well again.
