Track: FAST      

MONARCH PRINCE (5) looks close to a win after placing in two of his past three starts at this circuit, going under narrowly as runner-up last week. Stars from wider but can break through if things go his way. WAIHEMO HANNAH (8) got the better off Monarch Prince when winning at this venue and distance last week. A much wider starting position poses more of a challenge but winning form must be respected. THE BLOSS (2) was beaten into fourth as favourite in her latest appearance but should enjoy a nice run from this starting position so can make an impact. DIEDRE FRANCO (1) got it wrong last start but had been racing consistently prior. Player with better manners.
