SOUTH STAR (3) ran a much better race at his second outing last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. DRACO (12) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CAPITAL LEGEND (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when sixth over 1200m at Happy Valley three-and-a-half weeks ago. The engagement of Hugh Bowman is noteworthy. Faces an easier assignment so he is set to turn things around. MAX QUE (5) made late ground and finished second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck. Likely improver with strong prospects.
