Serious Hitter is the likely leader at a strong tempo. WINDSOR ROAR (11) is a consistent type who has been racing well recently over this trip, and scored a rare win in his penultimate start before finishing on strongly for fourth when beaten 1.75 lengths last time here. Hard to beat again. IZU JO HERO (1) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Has found the right race. MAY STORM (6) finished third two runs back at this track, then improved last time out to score by a neck over 820m at this track. Steps up a level, but he is good enough to repeat the dose. SERIOUS HITTER (5) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 1.1 lengths away in third at this track. Each way claims again.
