Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Orpheus. CELLIST (5) returns today and is on a run of five straight wins, the latest over 1600m at this track on December 8. Huge chance again. PILINA MAANA (1) missed the frame last time when fifth at this track. That followed a run of three wins on end. Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. GOLD BREEDER (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ORPHEUS (3) put the writing on the wall last time when a close second at this track over 1500m. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Solid claims on best form.
