PEAK PERFORMER (6) was close to a win before a break, starting favourite at the latest appearance and finishing second at this track (Synthetic). Can pick up where he left off. Well placed to make a bright return. MINOTAUR (4) tackling the synthetic for the first time today on his return from a brief layoff. Kicked off the last campaign with a fourth at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Well placed to make an impact straight away. MOBIUS (5) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing third and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Has ability and is among the chances. BESTBALL (3) is a maiden who has filled a minor placing three times in eight starts. Failed to threaten when 8 lengths from the winner in third first up last start over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Solid contender in this line up.
