JASPER PARK (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 5.5 lengths away in third over 1100m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. HEY NINA (9) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fifth over 1100m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Not to be discounted. DESERT CAT (1) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1100m at this track, clocking in 4 lengths from the winner as the favourite. Has a sound record here with two wins and nine minor placings from 21 starts. Must be respected, so follow your money. EL BARRERO (10) lines up on the back of a sound fourth over 1100m at this track. Expected to figure in the finish, so keep him safe in all combos.
