Pinotage ended a long losing run when scoring over track and trip recently but is upped a grade off a higher mark. Zakatal also won over course and distance earlier this month but was well beaten in second off today's mark last time. INNISH MAN (NAP) remains unexposed having won over 1m4f here before going close again last time. John Mackie's charge can confirm latest running with Next Edition and gets the vote. A winner over 1m4f in France, Flambeuse could go well.
