Destiny Lei should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. HIBON (10) was a winner at this track last start as the favourite at the same trip, and has been in solid form this campaign with two wins from five starts. Will be handy despite the tricky draw and rates a leading contender. TOWANO VALED (6) is in winning form after scoring as the favourite last time by 0.8 lengths over 800m at this track. Is yet to miss the frame in three starts this course and distance. Looks a leading player again. MIAMI BLUE (3) is struggling to break through, the latest finishing third at this track, but does tend to run well here. Jumps from a good draw and expected to prove a leading contender. RIVER LAND (5) was fourth last start over 800m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Looks well placed and can feature in the finish.
