KEAYANG LAVITA (3) is a progressive mare who made it six wins from her last seven starts when she led from wider to score by 3.2m last week. That was her second win from as many attempts at this circuit and distance. A good draw can see her do it again. PINNIE (4) had a favourable gate and was too good at this circuit two starts ago but was held up from the back row last week. With better fortune she could return to winning form. AVANT GUARD (6) must be considered after he raced parked but fought on for a 2m second here last week. DESTRIER (1) improved to place when second-up from this barrier last week. Could progress further.
