Baku Bay has won around here over hurdles and has also landed a couple of points so is no forlorn hope, though he probably lacks the class of Katkeau and SOUTHFIELD VIC. The latter is only a six year old and proven over the trip so, with his stable is firing on all cylinders, he is taken to make an immediate impact over the larger obstacles with the David Pipe team just under a bit of a cloud at present. Veauce De Sivola will probably complete in his own time.
