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

A solid tempo is on the cards with Tagano William and Meltemia pushing for the lead ahead of Snark Resist and Smart Victor. HINODE TEIO (1) settled towards the tail when resuming last start then wound up strongly to score by 1.5 lengths over 1870m at this track. Has been in the top three at all four starts here, including three wins. Among the leading chances. SMART VICTOR (6) missed the frame two back in tougher company then tackled an easier race more recently when a 30-length winner over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and can measure up again. RAY AND DANCE (3) got a long way back when fifth over 1870m at this track last start. Nicely placed to feature. RITTER SCHLAG (8) handy galloper back in winning form last start over 1700m at this track. Definite each-way chance.
