KAHURARU (1) Weakened under pressure when 6th last time at this track. Happy to overlook that run and drawn beautifully. Recent form of Jonathan Thomas is strong. Serious player. STEP IT OUT (3) Ran home into 2nd last run at this venue. Likely to be well placed early. Gets a chance to win. STAR OF THE NIGHT (2) Weakened to finish 8th last start here. Expecting improvement here and has a good draw. Antonio Fresu and Mark Glatt form a proven partnership. Can go on with it. THE SHUSHALA (5) Finished 4th last run at the track. Looking past the last run and back to a rise in trip. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. One of the hopes.
