ARI (10) did a great job to score by 2.75 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. THE STAR (1) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1150m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey with four wins and four minor placings from 12 starts. A bold showing is likely. IRONSTORM (4) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten 0.7 lengths into third over 1020m at this track. Sure to be in the mix. MAZE (6) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1275m at this track, clocking in 4 lengths from the winner. Must be respected.
