Taikomochi and Wayanka work forward. DESERT LORD showed good improvement on his first up outing when a dominant winner at this course over 1400m last start. Resumed with a fourth at Canterbury behind You Make Me Smile who has since come out and won another two races. WAYANKA is on the short turnaround after placing over this trip at Canterbury on Friday night. TAIKOMOCHI the best of the rest first up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Desert Lord gets the nod.
