VALENTI (8) First up from a break of 22 weeks and honest race when 2nd first up last preparation at this venue. Has minimal work to do from the draw. Worth consideration. INVINCIBLE RONALDO (2) Came in 4th last run here. Has the ability to turn things around and carrying less weight this time. Expect to go close. PAOSAN (5) Fresh today after a break. Tidy run when 3rd last start here and gets some weight taken off. Appears well in this. KING VICTORIOUS (3) Really dug deep when winning last run at the track and returns to a rise in trip.

Fresh from a spell of 31 weeks. Jumped at $26.00 and underperformed when 7th last start at Saint Cloud but dropping weight. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

First up after a break. At $23.00 average at best when 13th last start at the track and rises in weight. Sebastiano Guerrieri is a key engagement. Would be more keen on the chance of others.
