Intense City, Vainqueur City and Token Mambo to battle for the lead at a cracking tempo over this sprint journey. STORM'S END (2) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track over 1200m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has a win and three minor placings from five starts at this track and distance. Best form puts him right in this. ARME MATE (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when sixth over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. REVE DE FACE (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Strong each way hope. INTENSE CITY (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1200m. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.
