OPERETA DE PLAZA (6) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at this track two starts back then scored by 0.1 lengths last time out over 1100m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. ARAUKAN (8) finished 4 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1100m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. RADIO TEATRO (10) finished 14 lengths away in ninth last time out over 1100m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in journey today. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Sure to be competitive. SEVERUS SNAPE (4) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten just one length. No surprise to see him in the mix.
