MA KAN EMI O (10) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when 11th over 1200m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BLACK RED (11) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 11 lengths when eighth in a 1200m contest at this track three weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. FAIRY MAIA (6) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 10 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1200m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Backmarker who keeps coming. Winning claims on best figures. MANA PASS (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing tenth at this track over 1200m after being prominent at the bend. Placed to advantage and can make amends.
