|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo set by Lune Saphir and Harbor View. LUNE SAPHIR (2) scored two starts back before finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1300m at this track. Going well enough to take this out. TAGANO ALIAS (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Expect another bold showing. HARBOR VIEW (8) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by one length over 1300m at this track. Looks well-placed and she is definitely worth including. MARINO SCHREIEN (7) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only half a length, over 1400m at this track. Can play a major role again.
