    Race Analysis

    THE SPECIALIST (5) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GIMMETHEGOODLIFE (4) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 5¾f at this track. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. ECHO CHECK (6) returns from a lay-off of four months and did win when resuming last time in work over 7f at Vaal. Will be hard to stop. THE LAST DUKE (3) turned in another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in seventh over 7f at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
