TATARISTAN (3) finished 2.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1000m at this track nine days ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. DEL PIAMONTE (2) finished 5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1000m at this track nine days ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. ALMERILLO (4) was thereabouts last time out when fourth over 1100m at this track. Won at his only start at this longer journey. Poses a significant threat. STROKE OF LUCK (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 18 lengths into tenth. Nicely placed to find some form.
