Having tumbled down the weights, it was only a matter of time before MASAI MOON got his head back in front, and he duly did so over track and trip last week when scoring by three lengths. Given he's won off much higher marks here in the past, Rod Millman's charge can shrug of a penalty to follow-up. Orwellian has a similar profile and he too can figure again after scoring here last week. Pearl Noir has a poor strike rate but is usually thereabouts at this level though Art Dzeko has been beaten out of sight either side of winning here last month so it's anybody's guess what to expect from him.
