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

Strong tempo with Yoda's Choice and Satirical Fan leading from Forever Glorious. STERLING WONGCHOY (12) sat on the speed and ran away from his rivals as he rose in trip, winning impressively as a $12 chance. He rises in class today, but drops 5kg and maps for a similar run with no weight on his back. Turned in a strong figure last start and can repeat the dose. CAPITAL LEGEND (8) just missed at this track and trip last week when flying home from the back of the pack. This looks to set up similarly from out wide and he'll carry the same weight this time around. Will need some things to go his way but he's expected to be flying home once again. SATIRICAL FAN (4) is better than he showed last start when up on the speed and falling out the back. His form prior was much better and a return to that level will see him right in the finish again. YODA'S CHOICE (11) will need some luck from out wide but he's racing in good order and won't be far away.
