Slick pace with Epic Night finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. EPIC NIGHT (3) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 2.5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Has four wins here. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. FULGURANT (1) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 2 lengths as public elect last time out over 1500m at this track. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. PEISHA LIL KISS (11) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1500m. Likely to play a major role. MALAIA GARNET (10) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 3 lengths from the winner in fifth over 920m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the better hopes.
