Epic Day is expected to lead at a keen tempo. KEIAI MANUKA (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 8 lengths when sixth in a 1400m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CATHEDRAL ROCK (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into seventh after being prominent at the corner. Finds a winnable race. EPIC DAY (6) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 16 lengths into sixth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. ARC RIOSO (10) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1230m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. In the each way mix.
