TITUS GENT is taken to win again with a penalty, while both Desert Strike and Captain Kallis are others worth noting. The selection has won twice on the all weather this year so far and connections are keen to get another run into him before the handicapper gets a chance to review his rating. For that reason he is well in at the weights and although he has top weight to carry connections feel they should strike again while the iron is still hot. Ron Harris has his team in good order and another winner could beckon. Captian Kallis looks well treated on some of his best form and has been performing well of late. He finished a decent fourth of thirteen at Wolverhampton last time out and he is one to note for any moves in the betting market. Desert Strike ran right back to his best after finishing second to Micky Mac at Nottingham last time out. Richard Hughes is back on board once again so he is sure to have his supporters. Titus Gent has more on his plate this time around but he ought to be good enough land the finale.
