MR LEASURE (3) is back from a 12 weeks spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1207m at this track at the start of last prep. Best fresh figures put him right in this. PROMISSIO (6) resumed six weeks ago over 1811m at this track and was only beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Strips fitter and can go on to take this out. SMOOTH SALUTE (7) progressed nicely last time out when he made late ground to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1811m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. RHYTHEM ON STAGE (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1207m at this track (Turf). Hard to beat in this suitable race.
