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

Strong tempo with Ho O Six, Injection and Namura Duran leading the way. NAMURA DURAN (1) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when second. Has a solid record here at the distance with five wins and nine placings from 20 tries. Leading contender. Z MERVEILLE (3) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start at this course and distance. Expected to go well again. BACK SHOOT (11) finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Meeting a deeper field this time but cannot be ruled out. INJECTION (10) missed the frame last start when fourth over 1400m at this track. In the right race and can be about the mark.
