BELLA SORPRESA (8) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 15 lengths when seventh in a 1000m contest at this track nine days ago. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. GRAN KEVIN (6) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1100m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. GRAN TAITA (1) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with a win over 1100m at this track nine days ago, getting home by half a length. Likely to be there at the finish again. SCHNELLER (11) produced a reasonable effort when third last start over 1000m at this track. That followed a win at this track the start prior. One of the main hopes.
