No recognised leader so Winning Machine could find himself in front. SETANTA (3) gets a drop back in grade today following some disappointing performances recently. His best can be few and far between, but he goes well fresh and coming back to this track and trip may hold the key. Can swoop on them late and land the knockout blow. WINNING MACHINE (9) sat handy but couldn't hold on when drawing wide last time out, beaten 3.8L. Moreira now rides from an inside barrier, something this gelding hasn't had for a while. He's better than he showed last start and with a few things going his way now, he can break his maiden. DASH (8) wasn't far away at his latest effort over 1200m and has won a trial since that effort. Badel sticks from that heat and he rises to 1400m for the first time. Can build on his last start performance. YEE CHEONG RAIDER (10) wasn't far away last start when running on from midfield and ha strong claims out in trip now.
