Asagao to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. ASAGAO (7) improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1200m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running another bold race. CLEVER BEN (2) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten 1.5 lengths into third over 1200m at this track. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and four placings from nine tries. Expected to go well. MARINO ROMANCE (8) did well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1200m at this track, finishing ninth. Can feature on best. LAST CANON (3) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish seventh over 1200m at this track. In the mix.
