MARRON FIVE (1) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1400m at this track last time out. Has a high cruising speed. Expecting a bold showing. TEMPO REI (7) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at this track, scoring by a nose. Shaping up nicely and he looks sure to be in the mix. NEW GALILEO (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 14 lengths when seventh over 1200m at this track three weeks ago. The engagement of Anthony Gerson Cardoso is a positive move. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. GOLD COUNTRY (5) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
