Merchant’s Purse not an easy solution for General Lee at Ngong
General Lee (4th from right) charges from behind,while jostling for space during The Kenya Derby race, on June 27, 2021 at the Ngong race course.
Never say All over Again was squarely done by General Lee, two weeks ago. She has her off days, but is irresistibly potent when galvanised. General Lee should still manufacture another strike, while being cautious in the Merchant's Purchase - All over Again is sure to be stalking.
Steel Drum and Class Action have not been in such esteemed company before, although their form is mightily consistent. Class Action is spontaneously a cracker out of the stalls, has a five-kilo claimer with Ramazan Wako, fitting the bill for an upset. This race is dipped in mystery.
Would not want to abandon Chicago in the Mzee wa Pawani Trophy. He is tabbed to trumpet the 1,400m Mzee Wa Pawani Trophy from Frankie, with utmost serenity.
Too far for Firing Line and Century Fox.
