THE SHEPHERD is in good nick and the top division gelding could notch up another win. He has won at this track but familiar foe STRATHCLYDE is capable of getting away and it could be a tough fight to the finish. It also doesn't end there. AFRICAN SKYLINE has run many a good race without getting his head in front. It could be his turn. SHAMPOMPO SHAMPIZI loves this track and after running a fair race from a break could be in right place at the right time. NAVAJO NATION sharpened up nicely over shorter and will be looking to mow this field down.
