          Verdict

          This looks a good opportunity for AFRICAN ADVENTURE. Eased in grade, Joe Soma’s entire is a model of consistency. A further drop in distance and a high draw are slight concerns but he won’t be far away if Gavin Lerena can get him in a good position before the bend. Kings Cup is another who rarely runs a bad race. His only previous victory came on this track so he rates a danger, though is also drawn wide. First reserve Latin Opus would be interesting of getting a run and Rockstar Child could run well at a price from near the foot of the weights. Theravada and Highlander look the pick of the remainder.
