FLY COMMANDER (12) has been in the placings eight times from 18 outings. Last start finished fourth over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has a sound record here with four top-three finishes from six starts. Won't get too many better chances to break through. CYBERBEAST (5) last appeared a month ago over 1m1/4f at this track when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Juan Arriagada stable. One of the better hopes. NYIKOS (4) is a genuine type with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Produced another good performance last time out when third over 7f at this track (Dirt) after he was in the firing line all the way. In a suitable race and can play a major role. KANTHAROS JR (1) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Likely improver with top-three claims again.
