Cant see many horses having traffic problems. The pace will be hot, Safwan will enure it..

Do you think Safwan will be quick enough to set the pace?

On Winning Ways last nite, MDK concurred with you suggesting Safwan may not have the pace to go the front. He also said he has no problem with Igugu doing the pace despite what he said last week. But I noticed his body language when he said he doesnt really have a game plan. He was playing with his knees and chin. He has a game plan. surely Safwan?

Flirtation X(

Hi guys

My top 6 are:
Black Wing (greyville specialist, great 1st run in graded company)
Super Storm (well-weighted 4 yr old, easy campaign thus far)
Lion in Winter (under-rated imo, great run in Met, bad draw but will be running on at the death)
The Apache (most improvement to come)
Run for it (Felix on board, will enjoy 2200 like his father, may just get there on Saturday)
Pierre Jourdaan (may not stay, but top jockey on board...looking to emulate Hunting Tower who won the Guineas, Classic and the July a year later

I think Igugu has too much weight, and has had a tough campaign this year.
Bravura may not enjoy Greyville, and I am always weary of horses that were previously injured.
Galileo's Destiny and English Garden have had tough campaigns this year.
I do not think Past Master with 60 kgs will stay 2200.
Big City Life does not look himself,
Captains Wild, Castlethorpe, Safwan, happy landing and Emerald Cove may not have the class to pull the big one off.
Bulsara may not stay.
Flirtation has a bad draw just like in the Sumer Cup, but the form of President's Challenge looks weak.

This should get us in the mood X( thanks to Hollywood guys for the pic

Just had a look at the Sporting Post predictions - they agree on my top 3 - but they also have Safwan in joint 5th :
