Genuine pace headed by Introvert who should kick up along the paint. THE MAXINATOR (4) has been a model of consistency of late and will relish the drop in grade today. Strong through the line when fifth over 1410m here in BM66 grade on April 14. Looks ready to win. COSMIC FORTUNE (18) lightly raced filly with ability. Came from well back on the turn when a fast finishing sixth over 1630m here on April 1. Back to the 1410m and should get a genuine tempo. Sure to be strong again. FUN ENUFF (2) racing in career best form and jumps sharply in weight for this. Will appreciate the 2kg claim after scoring a tough win over 1410m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Has a ton of upside and is sure to figure prominently again. DESERT MIST (9) fitter after three runs back and improvement is anticipated from the soft gate. Forced to cover ground when tenth over 1350m at Doomben on April 17. In a leading yard and must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Maxinator to win.
