GIPSY VANNER (10) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when 12th over 1100m at this track, beaten 17 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. MIPIPO (11) drew wide last time and was safely held when 6 lengths away in 11th over this course and distance after meeting with strong support. Draws an outside gate again. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. HOVLAND (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.75 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can get the job done. LUCA BRASI (3) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1100m at this track, finishing 9 lengths back in eighth. Well placed and should be thereabouts.
