Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Expecting Mattiazo to take up the running with Michael Faraday and Kambati close at hand. KAMBATI (4) got off the mark with an effortless win latest and has upside. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped. SOUTHAMPTON (3) was too good over a little further last time. Drawn for a good run and another win cannot be ruled out. SUNSET WARRIOR (8) found winning form this course and distance last time. Best figures stack up and worth following up. BLOOMINGTON (5) has been winding up strongly and racing well without winning. Will be saved up for one last crack.
