Solid tempo set by Satirical Fan and Dragon Star. TOP TIME (2) broke through for his first local win with Keagan De Melo in the saddle, 4 weeks ago. He stays in the same class and only has to cope with a 3.5kg weight rise, to be the one to beat again. THE AZURE (5) knuckled down strongly to finish not far from the winner in third last start over 1650m at this track. Leading player again. SIMPLE HEDGE (1) didn't make an impact at his last run over 1650m at this track and was put aside for a spell. He drops in class fresh up and looks like a strong top-three prospect. JUMBO FORTUNE (9) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on three consecutive occasions. He was checked at a vital stage last time out over 1650m at this track, and can bounce straight back into the money here.
