FOUNTAINS BLENHEIN can quickly resume winning ways back down in class but it's unlikely to be easy up against Calvino, whose C&D win is proving solid form.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Georges Street could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Fountains Blenhein might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Khafre is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
