Reasonable tempo with Don Apollon probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. T M TOWER DON (7) is in sparkling form this time in, the latest a course and distance winner by half a length, making it two wins on end. Expected to go close again. FELSITE (12) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. DON APOLLON (8) was thereabouts at the latest effort when fourth over 1400m at this venue. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. MIRANKA (6) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this course. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
