AFRICAN MEMOIR has only had three starts to date but has improved each time. He beat youngster Nightrain in good style and looks capable of following up. But he meets another smart new three-year-old in IN A TIMELY MANNER and could have a race on his hands. The latter impressed on debut with a strong finish and being an improving sort may not mind the drop in distance. ESCARPMENT is a tough older campaigner that recently found his best form when well supported. He could reward followers again. RATTLESNAKE and BARNEY MCGREW could be dangerous at best too.
