NOBU (4) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Produced another good effort last time out when second over 1600m at this track. Must be included on the strength of that form. GOLDEN SEA (7) is back after a break of seven months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1600m at this track. Bold showing expected. PUERTA ARRABALERA (2) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1600m. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. COOL ASPEN (5) was high in the betting on the back of some good lead-up form but disappointed when beaten 17 lengths into ninth at his last run three-and-a-half months ago over 1200m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Must be respected.
