NINJA STAR (12) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1673m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. CARENTAN (4) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing sixth over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) 34 days ago. Capable of a lot more. NEURAL NETWORK (3) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by 0.1 lengths over 1673m here last time. Among the main chances. AMERICAN SPEED (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track (Synthetic) over 1673m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is sure to be prominent.
