A solid tempo from Bitter Melon, Milers Dawn and Grand Freude all kicking up to take advantage of their low draws. BITTER MELON (3) returns from a three-and-a-half months break after scoring three wins on end, the latest over 900m win at this track. Expected to measure up again. GRAND FREUDE (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2 lengths away in second over 900m at this track. Drawn to go forward again. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. BARGELLO (6) finished third last time over 900m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. MILERS DAWN (1) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 900m last time, finishing eighth and beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
