THE WILD CHIEF (2) saluted at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths after working home well. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. KHAO MANEE (7) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects. BANKER'S PAIR NINE (6) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. NAJWAN (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a tenth over 1500m at this track after he got a long way back in the run. Best figures measure up nicely. Capable of a strong performance.
