IVY BLIZZARD (1) scored last start at this track over this distance after he was in the firing line on the bend. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins from four starts. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best figures should see him run well. AVANTGARDE (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Strips fitter and can play a major role. S K EAGLE (9) was doing his best work late last start to get up for second over 1200m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey, including two wins. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. RYUNO WORLD (13) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at this track over 1200m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
