A strong pace on the cards with Crimson Comet, Island Master and Wolfram likely to roll along early. DANCE MO (9) has shown improvement in her last two starts over 1900m, on this course. She was slowly into stride last time and stayed on well at the finish, finishing third of seven. She will like the rise to 2200m and with just 48kgs on her back can shed her maiden tag. WOLFRAM (3) stayed on well when fourth of 12 over 1900m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He finished third in his only course and distance attempt and is one of the leading contenders. PETTEIA (4) last two starts have been fair. He has drawn a good draw of three and if seeing out the extra distance on offer should be figuring in the finish. HE'S A GAUL (5) resumes from a spell and should enjoy the rise in distance. On best form shown he can finish in the placings.
