Stake: $17,933

HAVANA PRINCE (1) impressed with a 1.5L win at Redcar. Career high mark to defy bringing great form and set to take beating. COSMOS RAJ (2) is admirably consistent. Finished amongst the first two past four starts and set to go close once more. HARSWELL DUKE (6) shaped well beaten 2L second at Southwell on return. Will strip fitter and could progress. Winning hope. MARINER (4) won only previous track start. Threat to all revisiting here.

Useful gelding. Comes here off a 52-day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 1.5 len at Redcar April 7 over 1400m defeating Highland Olly with 60kg at $6. The start before that raced on the pace before fading 12th of 21 at Doncaster on March 30 over 1600m, 11 len behind Hartswood carrying 69.5kg at $13. Top chance to salute again.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
