Expecting Akshardham to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. DERMA RUDRA (6) did well to score at this track two runs ago then last time was second over 1200m at this track, beaten half a length. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. KEEP ADORABLE (9) showed the way from barrier rise to score by 0.8 lengths last start over this course and distance. Sure to take some stopping again. AKSHARDHAM (2) resumed three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at this track and was only beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. KEIAI WHAKAPONO (1) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth over this journey at this track. Well placed and is among the chances.
