When two horses of similar spiffing aptitude are drawn together in the Seven Furlong Tryon Cup, there is no option than to Exacta them.

Permutation has to include Chadwick, but either Satyan or Saint Moritz will most likely dominate headlines at Ngong racecourse tomorrow.

It is not often we see Oliver Gray farming a three-pronged attack, but he is still up against Kenyan Queen on a hat-trick bid. Oliver's Bullet, Pretty Pearl, and, Dusha, are emphatically level pegging in the Jim Kidman Bowl, where weight will not be an issue over 1,000m.

Having said that, Dusha has claimer, Joseph Mutevu, removing five kgs - a definite plus. Assuming this will conclude with a photo-shoot, probably only goatee's apart, best to sit and watch.

With a heap of heavenly tears, Ngong racecourse is now a magnet for more runners. The Bix Maiden has nine confirmed. Daytime Girl will have benefitted from a debut sprint, so, must have sound prospects over Brampton - if she can stay.
