Plenty of pressure on from the outset. NIGHT BOMBER (4) set the pace over this course and distance last time before fading late to finish third. Muzi Yeni is booked to ride and he may be the one to beat. CHOISAANADA (1) resumes from a spell during which time he was gelded. He has won fresh-up previously and rates well as a main danger. MAX THE MAGICIAN (3) is better than his last start run over 1160m would suggest. He has won once and finished third once from three starts over this course and distance. If jumping on level terms should be finishing in the top-three. PRESSONREGARDLESS (8) is in winning form after scoring as the favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Diego De Gouveia stays aboard and he can go back-to-back.
