Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. L'ENFANT (6) was first up from a spell last start and saluted by one length at this track over 1200m. Form here strong boasting two wins from four starts. One of the contenders. LOG ON (2) won two starts ago then back to earth last time out when finishing fifth over 1200m at this track.

RADIO FLYER (6) will be rock-hard fit now following a nice effort at this track last start when finishing third. This is well within his grasp.

JANDAIA (5) bounced back to form with a second place run at this track after a less than encouraging eighth at this track two back. Can keep form and looks ready to run well again. SUPER MANO (3) has just two wins to his name but has finished in the minors a further six times from 19 career starts. Recorded yet another minor last time when second at at this track and is long overdue for a win.

RAIO AZUL (7) beaten 8 lengths into fourth when resuming last start over 1400m at this track when sent out as the favourite. Plenty of improvement to come. Can atone. UNDER PRESSURE (9) continued the good recent form when he finished just 3 lengths away in second last time out over 1400m at this track. Proving a good combination with Alexandre Da Silva Correia with three straight placings. Leading contender. PERNALONGA (3) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at this track with success over 1300m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. This looks like a sterner test than last time but on his best form, he is right in contention.

NUNCA MAIS (8) returned from a spell last start and found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck. Has a solid strike rate and in a fitter state today is a leading player again. KICKER ROCK (1) is a five-year-old gelding who drops in journey from the latest effort when finishing sixth over 1600m at this track, finishing 4.5 lengths off the winner. From his inside draw is sure to be in the thick of things again. HONEST (9) has had mixed results winning two of his last four starts. His most recent win was by 0.3 lengths at this track over 1400m.

GIPSY SONG (5) had been racing well prior to a last-start sixth over 1000m at this track. May appreciate the longer journey here. Better than the last run suggests. REMBRANDT (10) is not a prolific winner with just three victories from 39 starts. Last start finished second over 1200m at this track when well supported. Deserves a winning turn having finished second in four of his last five starts. Capable enough on his day and rates as one of the major players. TRIVENTO (8) was well supported last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track over 1400m. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. TAPIOCA (4) scored his maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 0.3 lengths. Looks well placed in this line-up and from his handy draw is a key runner.
