Expecting One Heart to take up the running with Royal Ibuki and Sound Jackal close at hand. BY MYSELF (5) did a great job to score by a nose over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Likely to be there at the finish again. DIPUTAR AZUL (2) ran well below his best last time over 1500m at this track, finishing sixth at $4.50. Can bounce back. LINK STARTS (6) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1700m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect fresh. ONE HEART (8) has recorded back-to-back minor placings, the latest when third over 920m at this track. Can play a role in the outcome.
