Pace a plenty, so the recent emphatic Perth winner INDIAN TEMPLE is unlikely to have the uncontested lead he was afforded that sunny Sunday afternoon in Scotland. However, he's a thoroughly genuine horse (unlike a couple of the others) and showed similar speed at this track on his penultimate start (2m4f) before folding to finish a creditable 7L second to Martiloo; so the drop back in trip to 2m is certainly no negative.
