Smart Saturn, T O Varnay and Angler to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. T O VARNAY (2) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1400m. Expected to be in the finish again. SMART SATURN (7) showed good early speed and led around the bend last start before being cut down, finishing fourth over this journey at this track. Could take catching. GOD HORNET (9) started at $4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth at this track over 1230m. Well placed and can atone. ELOIM ESSAIM (1) missed the frame last start over 820m at this track, finishing a disappointing tenth. No surprise to see her in the frame with the right run.
