Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. PLOVER (7) is a progressive four-year-old entire who resumes from a break of three-and-a-half months, his last appearance being a win over 1300m at this track. Rates highly and expected to go well. COMBAT VELA (2) last appeared when she finished sixth over 850m at this track on December 22. Expect her to play a major role. RISK TAKER (6) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 6 lengths over 850m at this track. Best form augers well for this. I'LL BE THERE (4) ran a bold race over this journey when resuming last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 5 lengths away in second at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
