Derma Ammit is expected to lead at a strong tempo. GRAFFITI WAR (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.8 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. EIS KING (7) won at this track and distance at his last outing four-and-a-half months ago, the only appearance of that campaign. One of the genuine hopes in the race. PANTANAL (11) is back after a break of ten months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Definite top-three chance. DERMA AMMIT (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
