Expecting a strong gallop with San Pedro and Umfula taking up the running over Song To The Moon. PLEASE BE TRUE (4) was a winner three back and solid in two runs since. Freshened sine finishing fourth this course and distance latest. That was first attempt at 1500m and should be better for it. Will stalk the speed and should be tough to stop. UMFULA (7) was in top form before a spell and returns here off a long break. Best form is over further but this suits fresh and can run a bold race. CHASINGTHERAINBOW (9) won three on end before a break then turned in solid run when fourth fresh here over a mile. Hit the line hard to finish less than two lengths from the winner. Fitter again and looks a big threat. AVERSATOR (1) is a promising colt who placed over 1400m at Greyville last run before a spell. Has won fresh and should be up to this.
