VIVA GRACIOUSNESS (1) was safely held last start when 1.75 lengths from the winner in fifth at this track and distance after jumping from a wide gate. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. THE AZURE (4) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 2.5 lengths starting at $4.30. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AMAZING AWARD (8) drifted back over 1800m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths. Well placed and is among the chances. CONFRINGO (11) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention.
