Expecting Quetzal Azul to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. QUETZAL AZUL (3) just missed last time when a head away in second at this track over 1200m. Should be peaking now and is ready to show what he can do.
BELLAGIO SPARK (7) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1100m at this track. Fitter and well-placed can run a big race. BITTER MELON (1) turned in a moderate debut over 1000m at this track on May 27 when she was safely held in fourth. Plenty of scope for improvement. KNIGHT SPIRE (2) missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1200m at this track, finishing seventh. Well suited here and can secure a top-three finish.
