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

Solid tempo with Pure Jasmine to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. ROBERTA CARINA (5) proved too strong last start and scored by 2.5 lengths over 1000m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. GROSSER BAR (9) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a neck over 1400m here last time. Will be tough to rein in again. STARKEY (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1000m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. MAKOTO DAITOREN (8) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when third over 1200m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Solid claims on best form.
