A solid tempo on the cards with Gold Premium leading the way. GOLD PREMIUM (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends. MAPLE DREFONG (7) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SHIMPU KOEDO (8) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track. Going well enough to overcome the tricky draw. MERKUR (5) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 8 when ninth here. Likely improver with strong prospects.
