HAPPY PEGASUS (2) sets the standard after making an immediate impact on debut, beating Saint Jose Patch by two lengths over 1200m at this track after settling midfield and finishing off very strongly. The outside draw is not ideal, but he has already won at the exact course and distance and the 1kg claim helps him hold a strong profile. SAINT JOSE PATCH (11) has the clearest right to close the gap, having been bumped at the start on debut before working home evenly for second, and his 1.5kg claim gives him a practical turnaround. ALMIGHTY WARRIOR (1) is the seasoned reference point, with one win and two placings from four starts at this track and distance, and his third behind Happy Pegasus reads well enough to keep him in the winning mix. I AM THE WALRUS (7) was beaten four lengths on debut when fading late, but he was not disgraced against several of these and still has the scope to improve sharply at his second race start.
