Indian Temple displayed a resolute attitude to score in a competitive Class 2 chase at Perth last month and a strong case can be advanced for this follow-up assignment. He now stands on a career-high rating of 141 which is a tribute to all concerned but VALUE AT RISK is surely going to come good one of these days and hopefully can do so returning to action after wind surgery. He has a course win to his name and receives 10lb from the topweight if Harry Reed's claim is not factored in. Wolfcatcher is expected to run his race but the remaining trio all have something to find on the evidence of latest performances, with Majestic Moll notoriously hard to catch right.
