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

Cracking tempo with Sports Legend and California Touch leading the way. BEAUTY INFINITY (5) was beaten in a photo finish here just last week when a $3.60 chance. Avdulla hops in the saddle now and he looks to get his chance from a favourable barrier once again. Ready to peak now third-up and he can go one better this time. YOUNG ARROW (10) disappointed most recently but he was much better in his two runs prior to that. He's placed 4/8 at this course and distance and with Bentley sticking, he can bounce back to his best form. CALIFORNIA TOUCH (2) couldn't go on with the job as he was collared late last start when leading, beaten 1.5L. He should be prominent again from the barrier and the inside draw is a big tick. Usually improves sharply with a run under his belt and he's a live chance once again. SPORTS LEGEND (1) was good here last week and has to be respected once again.
