A strong tempo is assured with Angel Number and Z Thunder leading the charge. ANGEL NUMBER (5) is in top form with three wins on end, the latest by a neck over 1700m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Will play a major role. SHIMOGURI (1) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 1500m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. MARQUE PAGE (8) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1700m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MERITORIOUS (11) was beaten 10 lengths into fifth over 1500m at this track last time out. Well placed to turn things around.
