MOON OF THE ACE (3) was in contention on the turn but turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1750m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEINER TIMELY (1) went forward from the low draw last start and sat on the pace before sticking on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. DEAR SUCCESSOR (2) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 5.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. HADIAH (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1750m at this track. Likely to be about the mark again.
