OAK ISLAND (1) should be peaking now after finishing third over 1200m at this track last time at the third run of the campaign. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. ALPHA PASION (5) lines up for the first time since October 10. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. CYPRES (6) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Debuted with a second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1200m at this track at her only appearance to date. Must be respected. THIS IS US (13) was in the money two starts back at this track then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1200m at Palermo. Should be prominent throughout. Can sneak into the finish.
