Expecting Weissklee to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. CAVALIER QUEST (6) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. THERMOPYLAE (1) is still a maiden. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1400m at this track following a minor placing at this track over 1400m the run prior. Among the leading chances. SHAN DIAN (7) just missed last time when a neck away in second at this track over 820m. Genuine contender. WEISSKLEE (5) was in the placings again last time in second over 1230m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
