Genuine pace with Aiyana taking up the running ahead of Bons Duqqa and Meiner Alauda. GENIUS LENNON (10) did a great job to score by a head over this course and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up performance. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. BONS DUQQA (3) made it two wins in a row last start when he scored by a neck over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is worth serious consideration. MEINER ALAUDA (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a head away in second over 1400m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. OZMOPOLITAN (12) ran a better race last start, finishing 2.75 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
