Good pace with Yuto The Ashige, Epic Night and Unsung Hero matching motors. HELD (1) showed good pace over 1500m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 1.5 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. EXULTATION (12) was in a different class last time with a dominant 3-length win over 1700m at this track, making it two wins in a row. Rates a leading hope again. EPIC NIGHT (7) is a distance specialist who improved last time out to score by a neck as favourite over 1500m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. DAVAY GLASNOST (6) had been racing well with six consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 2000m at this track. Yet to break through here over this distance but has never missed the placings in four starts. Has to be respected.
