AWARDED (8) scored by 2 lengths over this distance at this track last time out. Has a very good record here including two wins from four starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. MAGIC FLAME (7) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage seventh over 1200m at this track. Among the leading chances. GRAN VERA (10) improved sharply on his 12th two starts back at this track with a win over 1200m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. GIANCARLO (11) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at this track over 1400m. Can play a prominent role.
