DARK SAFFRON (1) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when finishing seventh over 1200m in stakes class at this track. Connor Beasley, who has four wins when partnering, stays on, and the pair can make amends. Follow your money. MUFASA (2) opened this prep last start with a fourth over 1200m at this track. He has an imposing record of 11 wins from 17 starts, and is among the top chances. EL NASSEEB (3) resumed last start over this trip at Listed level at this track and scored by well over 3 lengths. His form here is strong, boasting 3 wins from 5 starts. He shapes as one to consider for all combinations. PONNTOS (7) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start over 1000m in Listed grade on the turf here when well in the market. Likely to push forward and can take this out, especially with a return to the dirt course.
