|---|---|---|---|---|

Expecting plenty of speed from Svarna Paksa, Noble Beach and Clark Tesoro from A Shin Synchro. SEI VANQUISH (8) saluted here two runs ago then last time out finished fifth over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Key runner. NOBLE BEACH (5) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. SVARNA PAKSA (9) started at $1.90 last time on the back of a win two starts ago but was below her best, finishing 12th over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. A SHIN SYNCHRO (3) was below his best last time, finishing eighth over 1300m at this track. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
