Solid tempo expected from The Khan. IDEEL HERO (4) races best with his runs spaced and placed at both attempts over this trip. Looks due for a change of luck after finishing third over 2200m at this track last time out. No excuses today. ROTHESAY'S RUBY (11) has a good record over this course and distance and indicated a win was imminent when a gritty head second over 1735m at this track on April 9. Desperate fort his trip now and expected to go close. OTTOMAN EMPIRE (5) two runs back have been full of merit and expected to go close with the claim. Returned good final figures when a slick fourth over 1735m at this track on April 9. Has the ability to finish over the top of these. PRINCETON AWARD (1) solid return two back before failing to get into the contest at the latest when 13th over 1805m at Eagle Farm on April 20. On the quick turnaround and this is much weaker. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,11,5,1.
