Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Cesa Sunrise. SMART ROBERT (1) closed last campaign with five consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of four months. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. TAKENO RICH (10) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of another big performance. ASTER NILGIRI (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness he is capable of a big performance. CESA SUNRISE (6) showed good early speed over 1300m at this track last time and went on to salute by one length. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and cannot be taken lightly.
