Race 11 820m Track: |

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

Protea is expected to lead at a strong tempo. T M TALISMA (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 900m at Saga. Should measure up again. GENERALE (8) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 820m at this track last time out. Likely to feature. PROTEA (10) ran below expectations last time when seventh over 1400m at Kochi but is back in trip this time. Looks one of the chances on previous form. LUX RAMPAGE (11) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 820m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves his chance.
