They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. LUNA HALO (7) was doing her best work late when fifth of 110 as the hot favourite over 1400m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She has won three times, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this course and distance. Racing over 200m more in distance today can return to winning form. GOLDEN PEACE (4) won well fresh-up form a spell over 1400m on this course last start when well fancied. He would have come on from the run and can go back-to-back. MHLABENI (8) has placed in all of his last three starts with the blinkers fitted. He is likely to race on the speed from his good draw of three and may be hard to peg back. CHEEKY LADDIE (11) looks close to breaking through after having finished second over 1400m at this track last start. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position and is worth an each-way ticket.
