Keen battle for the lead with Augenblick, Morpheus and Daniela Honey in advance of Discerning and Dona Aphrodite. DISCERNING (8) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by half a length over today's journey at this track. Has started three times at this journey and has never missed the frame. Expected to measure up. DONA APHRODITE (3) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance last time out to continue her outstanding recent form. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. KINGDOM WINNER (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. MARUMO LUMIERE (4) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
