ACTUEL (7) sets the standard after a two-length first-up win at this track, where he was sent out favourite and beat Batchiri with authority. His 1200m profile is strong, with two wins from three starts around the trip, and he remains the runner the others have to get past. RHEIN HOPE (4) is the main danger after landing his maiden at this track by just under two lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, backing up a debut second to Batchiri. MUSASHI PENNY (5) also arrives off a last-start win, scoring by just under two lengths as a well-supported favourite, though she has to prove that sharp improvement was no one-off after being beaten out of sight on debut. DAIWA CURREN CITY (2) resumes after winning her only start at this track and distance, settling behind the leader before sprinting clear to beat Talitha by a length, so her lightly raced profile gives her a sound place case with some upside.
