QUE CUBANO (4) closed last prep five months ago when he finished seventh over 1000m at this track. Has a win and two placings at this journey from four starts. Ideally placed to score. FANTASTIC MAN (3) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths starting at $9.25. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. AMANTE TROVADOR (8) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1200m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALPES NEVADOS (12) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when second over 1000m at this track, beaten half a length. Expect a better run this time.
