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

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Singfonico. PUTONTHEREDLIGHT (3) is going well this prep, recording a win and three placings from six starts. Rates strongly and expected to feature. IN CAHOOTS (5) hit the frame last time out when second over 1450m at this track and will drop in weight for this. Yet to break through at this trip but has racked up two placings and is sure to go close if runs up to mark. NORDIC REBEL (7) was in the placings last time over 1450m at this track and gets some weight relief here. Jockey Warren Kennedy has been in the money at all three rides but yet to win while aboard. Should be involved here on best form. FULL MAST (2) has strong stats at this course and distance having won two of three tries. One of the better hopes.
