DABKE (9) finished tenth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 2.25 lengths over 1200m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. EL WHISKY CUANDO (12) has been thereabouts without winning, the latest offering a third over 1000m at this track. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Leading contender. KOCCIA (7) did little and finished 10 lengths from the winner in 14th over 1000m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at this track the run before. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DAKHAR (15) drew wide last time and was safely held when 5 lengths away in seventh over this course and distance. Draws an outside gate again. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Must be respected.
