Hot tempo expected with Underworld, King Pelles and Madison Valley heading the charge. UNDERWORLD (3) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1900m at Fairview. Has a solid record at the third run in so a big run is on the cards. KING PELLES (4) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 2800m at Kenilworth. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. MADISON VALLEY (5) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1600m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. DIANI (7) improved last time out, finishing 0.7 lengths from the winner in third over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
