1R : ESPERANZA (3) last appeared six weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into third over 1000m at this track. Should get her own way in front in the small field and will take running down. MIDNIGHT EXPRESS (4) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track over 1000m. Right in the mix. LIBAN (2) finished 14 lengths adrift in sixth at Kolkata over 1200m at his latest appearance. Well-placed to play a major role the small field. CELLINI (1) last appeared two weeks ago when he finished 1.2 lengths away in fourth over 1200m at this track. The least attractive option in the small line-up.

Best figures should see him run well. LIGHTNING MCQUEEN (9) returned from a spell six days ago when she was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1400m at this track. Tackling a more suitable race so she is a leading player. TRAIL BLAZER (4) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track.
