They look to roll along early with Merry Moana and Smart Axion leading the charge. WHISTLE BAIT (3) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1500m at this track when beaten 3 lengths. Tatsuya Nakajima stays on. Likely to feature. LINK ARMS (9) comes here off a last-start sixth over 1500m at this track. Has a solid record here and this sets up well for her. SILVER STELLA (4) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MERRY MOANA (2) last start finished seventh at this track over 1500m. Fitter and is among the chances.
