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

Strong tempo assured from Electron and You Say D'orsay leading the charge. HABANA (2) he is a definite improver on his fresh up run. Dual winner second up. Has won on dry and wet footing too. Eachway chance. HERBERT (4) he is in super form. Class dropper. Has won on dry and wet ground. Drawn out in this but can cope. Big chance. WILD NIGHT (5) is a class dropper here on a last start effort that had merit. He has won third up before. Trifecta and first four must in this line up. MEANINGFUL STAR (3) is a dual winner here. Wide draw in this. Chance no matter footing on offer today. SACRED SATONO (1) he is a multiple class riser in this. Dual winner here so far. Cannot be left out anywhere. SUGGESTED PLAY: Habana and Herbert are win wagers.
