|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine pace headed by Cent To War who should kick up along the paint. ALBANIAN STAR (5) scored his first-up win in picnic grade but will find this more to his liking than the runs since. KHANT BEE (16) is another who has been racing in stronger company than he meets here and should be nearing peak fitness after two runs back from a spell. BLACK MARMALADE (12) doesn't look a winning chance but might sneak a top-four spot at big odds. He goes in the wider plays along with DUBAI LEGEND (3) who is racing consistently well and has the good jock up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Albanian Star to win.
