|---|---|---|---|---|

Anticipating a solid early tempo with plenty of pace engaged. Good race with plenty of form but WILD FIG (2) had been in great form. Won three on end before finishing second last time out over 2000m at this track. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. ABOVE THE HORIZON (3) was an emphatic winner last time over 1600m at Fairview All Weather with today's rider Chase Maujean engaged. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and five minor placings from eight outings. Among the leading chances. MAKHACHEV (1) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. LAGUNA VERDE (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1600m at Fairview All Weather. Likely improver with strong prospects.
