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

Strong early tempo with Protea and Arial Black leading the way. PROTEA (4) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Key runner who should feature in the finish. ARIAL BLACK (6) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1400m at this track. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is all set to build on that latest effort. SHKMERULI (2) finished 6 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Capable of testing this field. HARUNO SAMSON (7) faded last time to finish fourth over 1600m at this track after showing good early speed. Better than the last run suggests.
