BEAR FORCE ONE (2) has the clearest winning profile after scoring by three lengths at this track and trip, with L'Arc En Reve behind him, and the fact he was a short odds-on favourite adds weight to the performance rather than making it look a fluke. He has three wins from nine runs around 1500m and reunites with the winning rider, so he sets the standard. OCEAN DREAM (7) is the main danger after a one-length second to Cafe Rendezvous last start, and her one win and one placing from three tries at this track and distance give her a solid platform third-up. SHADOW MADNESS (4) offers a place-to-win threat after coming from a long way back for third first-up, with weight relief helping his case, though his strike-rate keeps the assessment measured. HANTHAWADDY (6) has been holding form consistently, made ground into fourth last start and has one win and seven placings from 12 runs around 1500m, making her a reliable minor hope if the main pair do not put the race away.
