A solid tempo on the cards with Snark Thunder taking charge. PREDESTINARE (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 4 lengths over today's trip at this track.

SETTING SUN (11) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1400m at this track. Has a strong record here at this journey with two wins from four runs. Could be hard to beat in this suitable contest. WINGS ALL (5) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fifth, Well placed and in the mix.
