KING OCTOPUS (2) is going well, scoring by a nose two runs back at this track before finishing fourth last time over 1100m at this track. Should be prominent from the low draw. Expecting a bold showing. NADIE ME CREE (3) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when ninth over 1100m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. BACK TO BLACK (5) improved sharply on her seventh two starts back at this track with success over 1100m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MAX ALL IN (8) turned things around last start and scored by 0.8 lengths over 1600m at Hipodromo Chile. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
