ARISTOTLE (1) Threw down a serious challenge last run here. Should jump out and bowl along. In fine form since returning from a spell. Well placed and has solid claims. GRAND CRESCENDO (4) Below expectations when 6th last run at this venue. Expected to rebound. Gavin Lerena rates highly. Won't be far away during the run. Underrated. ROYAL FORCE (3) Finished 4th last time at this track. Has the ability to turn things around. Likely to be well placed early. Has won 2 from 4 attempts this preparation. Suitably placed in this race. SALUTE THE FLAG (5) Below standard effort when 10th last start at this venue. Will be positive in the run early. One of the hopes.
