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

Good pressure from the outset with Iris Azul, Meridian Star and Daring Heir taking up the running over Orangelo and Forte Fiore. EFFORTLESS (4) is racing well and has registered six minor placings in a row, last time out finishing second over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and can take the next step and salute. MERIDIAN STAR (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature. DARING HEIR (12) jumped from wide out last time out when safely held in sixth over this track and trip. Has a wide gate again. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. SUN URIEL (9) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1500m at this track. Has the ability to take care of this field.
