Strong early tempo with Slechtvalk and Stroganoff leading the way. BLUE DRAGON (6) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and can take this out. MINORICHAN (7) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished fourth over 1400m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SLECHTVALK (5) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Can go one better. TENZAN BALLERINA (1) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.8 lengths adrift in second over 1400m at this track when returning from a spell. Will drift back but wind up late. Solid claims on best form.
