Expecting Cerulean Drop to lead Lush Green at just a moderate tempo. CERULEAN DROP (2) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a neck, over 1700m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Best figures should see him run well. PARSIFAL (3) proved too strong two runs ago but was safely held last time out when seventh over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MISSION EYES (4) looks close to that elusive win after finishing in the placings at the last couple of runs, most recently when third over 1500m at this track. Hiroki Murakami goes well on this four-year-old and is back on top today. Should be involved in the finish. FLECHE NOIR (8) is racing well, most recently finishing third two weeks ago over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well.
