BUFFALO STORM CODY (1) could only manage seventh last start over 5f in the G1 Cape Flying Championship at Kenilworth, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Hard to knock form this course having never missed the frame including four wins and one placing. Among the leading chances. MAIN DEFENDER (2) added to his impressive record with a win over 7f in the G2 Hawaii Stakes at this track at his last appearance before a break 11 months ago. The when resuming credentials are sound so he is among the main hopes. WILLIAM ROBERTSON (3) scored in a at Scottsville but was below his best last time when sixth over 5f at this track. Has started seven times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. ALMOND SEA (4) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
