RIYADH GEM (2) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1900m at Wolverhampton, scoring by a neck. Will be better for that latest run and will be a tough nut to crack again. NORTHWEST PASSAGE (6) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.5 lengths of the winner in second last start over 2000m at Goodwood when resuming after a spell. Solid prospects. KINGMAKER (7) settled well back then made a little ground and finished 0.6 lengths away in seventh last time out over 2000m at Goodwood two-and-a-half weeks ago as $3 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Can play a big role. DALMALLY (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at Chelmsford, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Fitter and sure to run well.
