Century Fox and Class Action equalised in today's Uhuru Cup at Ngong

After several years, Ngong is privileged to have the Uhuru Cup being ventilated today.

Century Fox has been articulately unblemished on three consecutive excursions, although here he has to peddle another furlong with higher handicap. Measured against Class Action, also laurelling on a hat-trick, it will reveal how much of a luminary Century Fox is panning out to be.

Class Action's harpoon starting endeavors, are intimidating for rivals, and he treasures a five-kilo claimer in Ramazan Wako. Lesley Sercombe has opted for Frankie. Tough one to pin-point.

All over Again has not been overly stellar this season. Might be the distance she is crying out for, which is available in the 2,800m Brigade of Guards Trophy. Anjoli and Quasar, have been more dependable of late.
