Pasadena Dream has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. GILT EDGE (7) is back at the races for the first time since February 6. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race. MARENKA (4) is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Key runner. QUANTUM LEAP (2) is a course and distance winner whose latest effort was a second over 1400m at this track. Should be peaking now and is ready to show what he can do. PASADENA DREAM (1) has been unplaced at all three runs this campaign, the latest when tenth over 1230m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed and fitter can turn things around.
