Track: AW      

Good pace with Laguna Verde, Honorable Member and Silvonian matching motors. GLOBAL ALLY (2) finished fourth last time out over 2000m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths. Freshened for this sharper trip. Expected to go close in an easier race. PORFIRIO (3) got the prize two runs ago at Fairview. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Unbeaten from three tries course and distance. Hard to beat. SILVONIAN (4) started favourite when resuming but went under narrowly over 1400m at this track. Will appreciate the extra ground. Expected to be in the finish again. LAGUNA VERDE (6) turned in a fine effort to score by a neck at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish.
