Genuine tempo with Mermaid leading the way. IN THE HOPPER (5) performed well last time at this track and distance, finishing second and only 2.5 lengths from the winner. That was his third placing from his last four starts so the hoof is on the till. Could find winning form. COSMO BELLAESTELLA (8) is yet to break through after 27 starts but is not far off a win. Got close when placed two back then was thereabouts last time, beaten 3.4L. Nicely placed to open his account. GO STRAIGHT (1) is stepping out for his first run for the Yoshinori Itagaki stable. Draws the inside and can measure up. LEO BOMBAYE (6) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before boxing on to finish fourth, beaten 1.6 lengths. Can figure in the finish.
