COPAYAPU (1) has been in great form, winning two on end before back-to-back placings, the latest when beaten 0.3 lengths into second over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. VERSERO (5) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 2 lengths into third over 1100m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. MY HERO (4) is on a 7 day turnaround after scoring at this track last start. Boasts a strong winning record when backing up quickly with five past successes. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Winning claims on best figures. KASHGAR (7) ran well below his best last time over 1000m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth at $3.30. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Not to be discounted.
