PESTO (1) is a distance specialist who finished 2 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his fifth at this track the run before. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise. TAHOE (5) returned from a break of seven months and finished second over this course and distance last time out. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see him run well. METALLO (2) lines up on the back of a sound fourth over 1000m at this track. Has a solid record here including two wins and 14 minor placings from 30 outings. Has definite claims. WINEHOUSE (3) has not appeared since he finished sixth over 1300m at this track on July 28. Makes plenty of appeal at each-way value.
