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

Strong early tempo assured with First Origin, Barzalona and Teatro locking horns. AXL (5) is better than his last start run over 1200m at Kenilworth looks on paper. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He has won over this distance previously and can notch up his fourth career victory. SIBERIAN STEEL (11) is having his first run for the Alan Greeff stable. He has won three times, finished second three times and third once from 12 starts over this distance. Has top-three claims. VEGAS GOLD (8) was caught late when finishing third of 12 over this distance on the polytrack last time. Two of his seven victories have come over this course and distance. He resumes from a spell which would have done him the world of good and if not in need of the run, he should be fighting out the finish. TEATRO (3) has two placings from four runs this preparation. Drops in journey today and rates well as an each-way hope.
