BLEK PARADISE (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths starting at $7.71. Likely improver with strong prospects. MAPONUS (3) raced below his best last time when seventh over 3000m at this track, beaten 43 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ROSE OF CAPRICORN (4) finds it hard to win with just one success from 22 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1600m at this track, beaten a neck. Placed to advantage and can make her presence felt. CONTE GUIDO (5) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Treviso two starts back then scored by a neck last time out over 1600m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again.
