Slick pace with Yuna Pink Gold finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. WAKINO FLASH (3) was a most impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 4 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from four starts. Expected to feature. GUTI (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third. Best figures measure up. EXPLORE BEST (4) lines up on the back of a fifth here. Has sound form here at this trip with five wins and 23 minor placings from 58 runs. Can give this a shake. ESALTARE (1) was safely held when sixth last time, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth another chance.
