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

Solid tempo with Candleberry leading from Positive Spin and Adamas Minoru. WIN CHA CHA (1) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.4 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1400m at this track. Good record at this journey with two wins and six minor placings from 11 starts and should prove tough to beat. CANDLEBERRY (10) went forward last start and gave a great sight when third over 1400m at this track. Can spear across from the awkward gate. Goes well at this journey with two wins from six starts and is sure to play a big role. POSITIVE SPIN (6) is close to breaking through following a narrow defeat last time over 1400m at this track. Sound record at this distance with three wins and three minor placings from eight runs and has winning claims on best figures. ADAMAS MINORU (11) won at this track two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing seventh over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Well placed to make amends.
