When giants like Bedford, Cranleigh, Ten Eighty, and Strider, line up for Sunday (November 17, 2024)  afternoon's 2,060m Eldoret Race Club Cup, one is compelled to permutate them in the Exacta - there being no definite outcome. Bampton is not too keen on starting gates, but once she scuttles, there is an abundance of hidden competence about to volcanize.

Lesley Sercombe is uniquely riding for Racing Rascals on their Sherriff John Stone, in the Iten Handicap. Mo Showers as a danger, has the advantage of a win two weeks ago.

Give Pedosos a Paddock analysis in the Stony River Maiden Mile. A South African import, he might not have acclimatized proportionately, in which case Liverpool and Roxy Music, will pacify owners.

Beeston has become an official sprinting hustler, so, the Harry Deakin Bowl should fluently accommodate his dominions. High Legislation has all the tools to occupy number one space but does not fusillade on demand.
