A race that is devoid of early speed and it is hard to nominate a leader. BEAUTIFUL WIN (1) comes here off a 35-day break with a trial between runs after being gunned down late at this track and trip. He was back to C5 there and had to work from out wide, but he draws a much softer barrier this time around. Can position himself close to the speed again and score a maiden win. SMILING COLLECTOR (2) drops back in grade today after working his way back to C5 in recent races. The booking of Hugh Bowman makes this seem like a targeted attack and a return to his best form would see him right in the finish. SMASHING EXPRESS (6) has been back to the trials since his latest effort at this track and trip 35 days ago, where he was beaten 1.5L. The wide draw may see him back in the run, but his recent figures stack up well and he's sure to put his best foot forward. FAMILY FORTUNE (7) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back to the form we saw earlier this campaign.
