Plenty of pressure on from the outset. MASTEROFTHEDESERT (12) raced from a handy position over 1400m on the polytrack last time and stayed on well to finish fourth. His penultimate run when third over 1200m catches the eye. Rachel Venniker takes 1.5kgs off his back and he looks hard to roll. MOYA WA LALIGA (5) stayed on well at the finish when third over this distance on the polytrack last time. He has won three times and finished second once from six starts over this course and distance. Apprentice Savanna Valjalo takes 4kgs off his back and he has each-way claims. MAR DEL PLATA (9) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was in the firing line all the way over 1200m at this track. Finds a suitable race and is a main danger. IN THE BAG (6) settled well back in the running then came home well in the straight and finished fourth last time out over 1000m at this track when first up from a spell. Steps up in journey today and racing fitter is in the mix.
