POBLANO (4) had been racing consistently, finishing in the money two races on end, until finishing fourth as favourite last time out over 5¾f at this track. Yet to miss the frame from four starts at the trip, including a win and shapes as a key contender. VANAKKAM (6) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out in Group 3 grade at this track over 5¾f. Boasts excellent form at this trip with three wins from four starts. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. RAFA BAY (5) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 4 lengths, at this track over 5¾f. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to be prominent. CHAPBOOK (2) finished eighth last time out over 5½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Solid top-three hope.
