Track: AW     3m out at the 421m mark  

Crystal Maiden, Walt Whitman and The Inkosana to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. WALT WHITMAN (2) was an impressive winner of his last start over 2200m on this course. He was slowly into stride, but ran on well and won easier than the official margin suggests. He should have no issues with the drop to 2000m. He is a horse with ability and should follow up with another victory. SAN QUINTIN (7) finished 1.25 lengths behind the top choice last time. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today which could be enough for the tables to be turned. SLAINTE MHATH (4) fought hard for his last start nose victory over 1900m on this course. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. MALDANO (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 1.75 lengths. Should be in the mix in this suitable race.
