WILD BEAU was dominant winning a couple in a row at theis track before a placing in the Palmerston Sprint last start. He gets chance to return to winners stall. ARIZONA ACTIVIST finished too well and got the prize this track/distance last start. Drawn perfectly and would not leave out. SHIRSHOV started favourite here last start but did not finish race off well enough. He is good enough to bounce back in this while RIVKIN comes off a last start win. Back to the 1000m but he has chance to make it two straight.
