Held has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. NISHINO SUNSTONE (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. HELD (6) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 1300m, beaten one length. Should be at his peak now. The testing material. ROYAL DEVISER (1) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when he was in the firing line all the way over 1400m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. GOLD SIRKA (7) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track, clocking in 5.5 lengths from the winner. Best figures stack-up nicely.
