GRAN ORION (6) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 3 lengths over today's trip at this track. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Expected to measure up. THE WIND (7) returns from a layoff of 12 weeks. Scored over 1300m at this track to launch the last campaign. One of the genuine hopes in the race. GOD IS LOVE (1) got home by 0.3 lengths last time out over 1000m at this track. Has a good record at this track with two wins and five minor placings. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. One of the main contenders. GUENA PETETE (3) performed above expectations last time over 1300m at this track, getting the prize by 0.8 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Don't underestimate.
