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

Strong tempo assured with Stars In Heaven, Roman Agent and Tintamarre rolling to the front. ROMAN AGENT (1) is close to breaking through but proving costly, last time out recording another placing when third at Fairview All Weather. Well placed here and expected to go close again. LOTUS SILK (9) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at this track. Should be hard to stop. IMAGINABLE (5) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 0.7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at Fairview All Weather. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BLACK EGRET (4) improved sharply last time out to score by half a length over 1200m at Fairview All Weather four weeks ago. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
