CEDRUS (1) was a strong winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by half a length to make it three on end. Has a high cruising speed. Among the leading chances. GAMBLER BOY (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SINGLE MALT (4) was beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh in a 1400m contest at this track last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. COMANDANTE UNICO (2) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at this track over 1300m. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be competitive. MARAVILLOSO (8) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 2 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
