Prize Money: -

PRISONER OF LOVE (4) Finished 4th last time at this venue. Expecting improvement and will try to take advantage of the draw. Looks promising in this race. MAGICO SPRINT (8) Nice run when 2nd last run here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. BETTER MAN (3) Below standard effort when 6th last time here but racing over extra ground. In good shape since resuming from a spell but will have to carry more weight. Expect to go close. DARAWI (7) Ran 3rd last time at the track. Likely to settle back in the field. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Started at $7.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 10th last start at the track but drawn well. Jockey Ale Mereu is a strong choice aboard and back to a longer distance. Not at all out of this race.
