Good early pressure with Morning Haze or Houyhnhnm likely to take up the running. SPEED SOLDIER (9) lines up for the first time since September 7 2024. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. HOUYHNHNM (10) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1400m at this track after showing good early speed. Nicely placed to play a major role. MORNING HAZE (1) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fourth over 1400m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Will give backers a great sight. CANON WOOD TAIL (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into ninth. Capable of featuring prominently.
