Held can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Held likely to find himself in front. T O SMITH (9) continued the solid form last start, finishing 1.5 lengths back in second at this track over today's trip. Likely to measure up again. HELD (6) displayed plenty of early toe over 1300m here last time and went on to score by 1.5 lengths. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. ROYAL DEVISER (5) built on a nice third two starts back at this venue with a win over 1300m here three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Toru Takeyoshi scored on him last time and retains the ride. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. CRY ME A RIVER (1) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this course, beaten just half a length. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
