AL HILM (6) was last at the races when he won over 920m at this track on December 19. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal fresh. GRAND FUTURE (4) failed to feature last start, finishing fifth over 1500m at this track. Settles back early but winds up late. One of the contenders. MEINER BOLERO (11) was responsible for a better run last start when fourth over 1500m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
