Expecting a genuine tempo. KIMBALL O'HARA (1) was squeezed leaving the starting stalls last time but stayed on to finish fourth. He returns from a spell which may have done him the world of good. He takes a drop in class and jumps from pole position. He has won fresh-up previously and rates well as a leading chance. BEACH PALACE (8) won a game race over 1600m on this course last time. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, he can go back-to-back. RUN TO RIO (2) ran on well when winning over 1600m at Greyville last time. Multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. From his good inside draw has each-way claims. FUTURE SAINT (5) has been freshened up since he finished eighth over 1600m at Greyville last start. Has a high cruising speed and is in the mix.
