VUNDU (5) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. SABIYANO (2) finished third last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Has a sound record here with four wins and four minor placings from 12 starts. Leading contender. DON MACHETE (3) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner including last start when scoring by 2 lengths over 1600m at this track. Races well here and is not to be underestimated. TOUCH THE STARS (4) scored first-up two starts ago on dirt at this track the couldn't repeat the dose last time, again on dirt, at this track over 1600m when beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Tougher race but sound each-way claims again.
