MODERNO (8) disappointed when finishing fifth last time over 1400m at this track. Kept fresh for this. His best form is good enough, so worth another chance. RUNAWAY RUSSIAN (7) missed the frame on debut, then progressed nicely at his second outing, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Looks well placed, so expect another big run. BLUE KIT (10) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, at this track over 1200m. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Should be involved in the finish. AL GRAN MAESTRO (1) had support on debut last time out but never threatened when finishing well back over 1400m at this track. Expected to improve sharply and worth including this line-up.
