|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of speed with Twilight Saga, Something Great and Daihasshu leading Beilstein and Mana Makana. BEILSTEIN (10) last raced when successful by half a length over 1300m at this track ten weeks ago. Unbeaten here in four starts and rates one of the genuine hopes in the race. ORENO AIBA (4) made it three wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by a nose over 1400m here. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to score again. MANA MAKANA (3) displayed plenty of early toe over 1400m at this circuit last time and went on to score by 1.5 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. TWILIGHT SAGA (8) had been in top form, scoring six consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 1400m at this course. Don't discount lightly.
