Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Montelena, Thunder Master and Grey Smoke leading the charge. MONTELENA (1) just missed last time when finishing a nose second of eight at Fairview over 1400m when sent out as the favourite. Has placed in all of her last four starts and jumping from the inside gate can go one better. EYJAFJALLAJOKULL (4) is ready to win after finishing second over 1400m at this track last start when sent out as the favourite. Finds a suitable race and should prove hard to roll. DUBAI HILLS (5) ran well to finish third of eight over 1400m at Fairview last start when sent out at long odds. Has the pace to settle in the leading division and has solid each-way claims. PURPLE OPERATOR (6) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start to finish third of seven over 1300m at this track, beaten only a long neck. Is a must include in exotic bets.
