THURLESBEG TONTO (5) charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 1.3 lengths second (30.49) over 500m at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to his credit. One of the contenders. JAYMIR TARA (6) carved over from wide out last start and boxed on strongly to finish half a length away in second (30.43) behind Move Over Mom at this track. Expected to feature again. PERDEY (1) was in the placings last time but prior to that posted a slick 30.33 win over 500m at this track. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. SWIFT KENDALL (4) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.
