Namura Joshua, Excellen Arthur and Amalfi can set the pace. NAMURA JOSHUA (3) returns after a break of nine months. Has won eight on end, the latest over 1300m at this track. Can go on with it. AMALFI (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1300m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. RHEIN ANGELA (5) narrowly missed last time when second over 1400m at this track to add to a frustrating sequence of results. Genuine performer so she is expected to be in the finish. EXCELLEN ARTHUR (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over 1400m after he had settled well back. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
