Off the inside draw Silk Needle should boot up and lead at a solid tempo. BAYASHI FAITH (7) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only one length from the winner at the end of 1700m after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. STELLA BIANCA (11) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1500m at this track last time. Fitter and should give a great sight. SILK NEEDLE (1) lines up for the first time since November 20. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1500m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. KITANO DALOMA (12) resumes in a similar race to his last run 12 weeks ago when fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Makes plenty of appeal.
