XIS RAIO (1) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1200m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. O'TOOLE (3) placed on the turf when fresh at this track then followed up with a sound 3, again on turf, at this track over 1500m when beaten 2.5 lengths. Sure to be in the thick of things again. ZHURONG (5) started at $4.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track over 1500m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MARAVILLOSO (4) made progress last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish.
