A strong gallop is likely with Beilstein and Burgeon Forth taking up the running, closely attended by Kaga Cappuccino and Popular Song. BEILSTEIN (2) was a most impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 4 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Major player. BURGEON FORTH (12) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. SCEPTRUM (6) scored at this track last time out with 2.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has seven wins here. Strong winning hope again. TECHNO ANGEL (8) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing ninth. Certainly worth another chance.
