Pace strong with Pawa Poke Primero and Cupid's Arrow leading with Knock On Wood nearby. PAWA POKE PRIMERO (7) has been going well this prep, scoring last start over 1300m at this track to make it 10 wins from 19 runs this time in. Has a high cruising speed. Will give a great sight. CUPID'S ARROW (9) impressed last time with a 2 length win at this track over this journey. Has a fine record here with three wins from eight starts. Should run well. KNOCK ON WOOD (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. KITO WIN (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1300m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed to run top-three again.
