MARUKAN MAYER (1) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at this track over 1200m, beaten 0.6 lengths. Tadanari Konno has registered two minor placings when on board. Likely to feature. AITHER (5) took advantage of the good draw and sat on the pace last start before tiring to finish fourth, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. THOUSAND SARAH (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. THUNDER PEKO (11) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 2 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
