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

Pace genuine with Idealist and Miyabi Mortar pressing hard closely followed by Genes Sense Luce and Cellist. CELLIST (7) is flying having scored at his last four starts, most recently by 4 lengths over 1200m at this track as favourite. Hard to knock winning form and is sure to go well again. GENES SENSE LUCE (13) returns after winning both outings of the maiden campaign before an eight month spell. Same rider aboard from the last win. Leading player. MIYABI MORTAR (14) has been in great form with three placings in succession, most recently when beaten 2.3 lengths into third at this course and distance when he was prominent throughout. Contender. IDEALIST (1) weakened out when resuming last start but ended last campaign with a hat trick of wins here so is capable of better.
