RACE COMMENT
IDEN OLIVER (2) looks very well graded in this race with Grace Jones's claim. He put together a string of victories before a handy fourth last start when coming from back in the field, and expect he will take a power of beating in this class of race. We may see some gate speed from DENNY (6) and KARALTA ARTEMIS (7) over the mile, although both would need to improve on recent efforts to be in the finish, noting the latter has since undergone a stable change. KNOCK OUT (1) should also look to find a forward position from the pole draw. CAN FEEL THE FURY (5) looks the pick of the Wayne Yole-trained runners and should appreciate some genuine speed throughout, while DONNY IN PARIS (8) should get a soft run along the pegs and could be the knockout hope if clear running appears late. Selections: IDEN OLIVER (2), CAN FEEL THE FURY (5), DONNY IN PARIS (8), KNOCKOUT (1)
