ENCORE MO (7) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. NIGHT STRIKER (6) has been in the money at both runs this prep, the latest when beaten 5 lengths into third over 1609m at this track. Fitter and should be in the finish again. CELESTIAL HEART (4) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time. KING RONIN (8) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished ninth at this track over 1509m, beaten 14 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
