KAUTO Y PILLO (2) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then scored by 2.75 lengths as public elect last time out over 1000m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. HUMOR POLITICO (1) is back from a spell of nine weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1200m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. MERMET (7) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Comes here with definite top-three claims. TATANKA (5) has switched yards since finishing fourth a month ago over 1000m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
