1R : DIVINE STAR (3) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1200m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he can go on with it. AAFREEN (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1200m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. GHIRARDELLI (6) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. ELOQUENT (5) was beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh in a 1200m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Worth noting P Trevor goes aboard. Capable of featuring prominently.
2R : PORTOFINO BAY (3) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth over 1200m at this track. Strips fitter and can find the winner's circle. EMPEROR RODERIC (2) closed last prep with a fifth over 1200m at this track on December 24 2023. Worth noting that he opened the last campaign with a minor placing at Bangalore over 1400m. Hard to knock the record of C Umesh when aboard; yet to miss the frame including two wins. Should be in the finish. CELLINI (1) finished 14 lengths adrift in fourth at this track over 1400m at his latest appearance. Likely get his own way in front in the small field and will be hard to catch.

Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. SOVEREIGN GREY (1) resumes after a break of 15 months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1000m at Pune. Can make his presence felt while fresh.

Hard to beat in this suitable race. FALSETTO (2) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in tenth. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the better hopes.
