Plenty of pace from Forewind, Imagine Lennon and Face Nine matching motors ahead of Happy Monster. IMAGINE LENNON (6) was a most impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 9 lengths. Has never missed the frame here at this journey in eight starts, including four wins. Major player. PAI RATANA (1) turned in a fine effort to score by 2.5 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. FACE NINE (5) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track. Well placed and can make amends. KEY CLASSIC (2) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a third over 1400m at this track. Draws a much better gate this time so he is not to be discounted.
