Dance King can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Dance King likely to find himself in front. DJ JUNIOR (3) has good recent form lines to his credit, including last time out when third of eight. It must be noted that the horse that finished second in his last run has come out and won since. He won his penultimate outing over this course and distance. Can notch up his fourth-career victory. DANCE KING (2) quickened up well when winning his last start over 1600m on this course. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Wesley Marwing retains the ride and the combination merit healthy respect. DARK SILVER (6) stayed on strongly when second over 2000m on this course last time. With a bit of luck from his wide draw of eight, he can feature. GAMER (9) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1800m at this track. Looks well placed and is worth considering.
