Poets Warrior, Daimyo and Kissing Machine to take up the running at a decent tempo. The top three from the Aquanaut Handicap line up again. ENFLAME (7) ran third and is the better served at the weights. Won only try course and distance and expected to go close on recent top form. DAIMYO (3) won the Aquanaut with authority and has a strong record here. Down in weight and can get the job done again. ALADDIN'S LAMP (2) split that pair last time and meets the winner better at the weights. Sure to be in the finish again on top record this circuit. POETS WARRIOR (1) was far too good last time and will take catching again.
