Kojin Rise and Zhaxidelei to take up the running at a strong tempo. ZHAXIDELEI (9) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1200m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. AY OH (12) was well fancied last time but found a couple better at this track, finishing one length adrift at the end of 1200m. Yet to miss the frame over this longer journey. Sure to run well. MCMURDO (13) saluted at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in contention on the bend before finishing second over 1200m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. CAPTAIN BLUE (10) is third up today and looks close to a win after finishing a close third last time out over 1500m at this track. Has managed three minor placings from four runs at this circuit. Not to be discounted.
