HWASAN POKPAL (2) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Scored a determined win at his final run last campaign at this track over 1400m. Comes here with definite claims. STORM CROWN (5) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MUCHO MACHO RAPIDO (9) scored at this track last time out with 5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1200m. Has a good record at this track with two wins and three minor placings. Should park just off the speed. Should be involved in the finish. GEOSEN BIGMAN (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
