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

Strong early tempo with Imagine Lennon and Flight Magic leading the way. GYARANDO (11) is back at the races for the first time since April 7. Scored over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Has ability and should be right in the finish. IMAGINE LENNON (9) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by a massive margin over 1700m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from four starts. Leading player again. FLIGHT MAGIC (1) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 1870m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Mai Fukuhara scored on him last time and retains the mount. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is one of the key runners. ANDERMATT (3) lines up on the back of a fifth over 1700m at this track. Hard to knock.
