Genuine tempo with Scandinavia to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SCANDINAVIA (7) recorded another success last time over 1600m at this track making it five straight wins this campaign. Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. AVERY (11) is in top form, most recently recording a win by half a length over 1300m at this track to make it two in a row. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. DRIVE AWAY (5) has been freshened up since she finished 12th over 1900m at this track eight weeks ago. Expecting to see her turn things around. BEAR ANGEL (10) hasn't been able to break through for a while, the latest effort a sixth over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better field but she is capable of running a bold race.
