RACE COMMENT
KANENA PROVLIMA (11) cops a wider draw but hasn't been far from the placegetters when tackling stronger company in his last two outings. Does possess the gate speed to get across into the right spot and is suited in this grade. JILLIBY NITRO (10) is another has been going well in better races having come from a similar draw to beat Kanena Provlima home when missing by just a head as runner-up two back. Strong claims. MAJOR MAJOR (8) missed the placings last time but had kicked off the campaign with a string of top-two finishes including a win over this distance. Races well here at the mile so the drop in trip should suit. SURFERS DELIGHT (7) hasn't been too far away of late so can play a role. BEST BETS:
