Sizzling pace from Agile Black, Steel Dream and My Moment locking horns ahead of Bankable Star and Space Force. AGILE BLACK (9) recorded another success last time over 1700m at this track making it five straight wins this campaign. Strongly fancied last time and looks tough to beat again. STEEL DREAM (2) returns after a break of 12 weeks. Excels when fresh with three wins from as many starts including a win over 1700m at this track at the start of last prep. Likely to take beating. LILABAD (4) raced on the speed and kept going to score by half a length last time out over 1800m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. ALEXA (10) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 10 lengths away in ninth over 1800m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
