Fast tempo assured with Princess Kesh, Thambi and Diesel's Shadow going at each other early in the piece. HAZLO GRANDE (6) raced from a handy position over 2000m last time and fought on gamely to finish third. It must be noted that the form of that race has since been franked. The drop back in journey will pose no problem and he can get the job done this time. FIFTH OF JULY (7) was touched off in his penultimate start over 1600m on the Inside course here and was then close up in fourth place last time out. Stick with him. Each way. DIESEL'S SHADOW (3) beat most of his rivals in his last start over this distance here on the Inside course. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. He is in a good space and even with an extra 3-kilos to carry, he can follow up. THAMBI (2) won his last start at a nice price. If repeating that effort, he should be involved in the fight to the finish.
