Onimaru should find the front with Windmuhle and Alsafi on his heels. ONIMARU (10) was well-fancied last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Has a formidable record at this journey with three wins and three placings from eight starts. Key runner. ALSAFI (2) is back after a break of four months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Expect him to play a major role. STANLEY (3) drifted back over 1800m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth. Can feature in the finish. BELLAGIOSONODALOVE (8) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Ready to go a couple better.
