Early speed is rapid on paper, INVICTUS SALUTE coming across with SPIRITUAL PURSUIT, GOLDEN TYCOON and MANSA MUSA (tempo: STRONG). Looking for progressive horses that should love the 1100m, INVICTUS SALUTE and GOLDEN TYCOON are both coming off long breaks and have trialled well into this, INVICTUS SALUTE beating Dreamforce over 1000m and GOLDEN TYCOON winning his trial easily. SO TAKEN and SPRITUAL PURSUIT are both in-form and handle the wet so should be right in the mix. BALLER (2nd in trial) talented, but back to 1100m and wet first time are the risks for a big strong son of High Chap. [FORM GUIDE only] She's Furline: Blinkers OFF FIRST TIME, Winkers FIRST TIME; The Soloist: Blinkers OFF FIRST TIME, Concussion Plates (Front) OFF FIRST TIME.
