Prize Money: -

VELERIN (2) Ran well when 3rd last run at this venue and strong performer at the distance. G Pineda is a key engagement and can find a nice position from the draw. Bold performance expected. SIR POLO (1) Was first to greet the judge when winning last run at this venue. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 attempts. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. ZAPATER (5) Below standard effort when 7th last time around here. Looking for an improved run. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. CATCH THE STARS (4) First run back from a break. Underperformed when 14th last run at Dax but drawn the rails. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Include in chances.

Jumped at $21.00 and disappointing display when 5th last time here and going up in weight. Might be ridden for luck. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Resumes from a spell. At $15.00 moderate showing when 14th last run at Dax but will appreciate a good draw. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Respect the betting.
