Genuine tempo with Success Beiju and Rayel up front. SUCCESS BEIJU (2) was prominent from the outset when second over 1500m at this track last time out. Form here over this distance is very solid. Has a high cruising speed and will give a great sight. MACCHINETTA (9) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 2.5 lengths over today's trip at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. Leading player. MIYABI MORTAR (6) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. RAYEL (10) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1500m at this track. Has to be respected.
