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

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Belle Shiny and Sammaru Warrior. T M TOWER DON (2) was safely held in tougher company two runs back then appreciated the drop in grade last time and scored over 1300m at this track. Can continue the winning form. BELLE SHINY (9) made a nice return last time out to finish second and beaten only one length over this course and distance. Form at this distance is strong with two wins from four starts and shapes as a key contender. ACCOLADE (6) fought on well to finish second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SAMMARU WARRIOR (5) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 6 lengths over 1300m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
