Kingsbury is expected to lead at a keen tempo. GOLDEN SWEEP (8) lifted strongly only to just miss when fresh from a spell as favourite last start over 1200m at this track. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. Has a good record at this course and distance, including four wins. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. HARDWIRED (5) finished fourth last start over 1200m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Well placed and expected to feature. KINGSBURY (3) finished sixth over this distance, beaten 2.75 lengths, when resuming at his latest outing. Has a very good record over today's journey with six wins from 12 starts. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. YORUNO TEIO (4) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing second over 1200m at this track most recently. Winning claims if at his peak.
