Track: AW   Clear (Max: 21)    

Expecting a very strong tempo with lots of early pressure, predominantly from Forest Jump, Kimball O'hara and Green Sceptre. PORFIRIO (5) rallied late when finishing second over this course and distance last time. He has won once, finished second once and third once from five starts over this course and distance. He takes a slight drop in class and he can go one better in this field. BRAVE VOYAGER (7) has fair recent form lines to his name. He has finished second four times and third twice from eight starts over this course and distance. Solid each-way chance. KIMBALL O'HARA (2) stayed on when sixth over 1400m Scottsville last time. He resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up previously should prove to be competitive. FOREST JUMP (1) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running eighth at this track. Jumping from the inside gate rates well as a place chance.
