LOVELY VIEW (9) comes here off a break of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. CLAVE DORADO (7) drifted back then made late ground to finish sixth when first up from a spell last start over 1600m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. SWIFT RUNNER (4) was a narrow winner two back at this track then out of the money last time when ninth at this track. Will appreciate the drop in the weights. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and three minor placings from eight outings. One of the main contenders. CURREN ALCANTARA (1) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths, after a win at Kawasaki at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
