AFFLUENTIAL (6) has scored at his last five starts, most recently by 3.5 lengths over 2m1f at Sandown-Lakeside. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with five wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Leading player again. NASSAK DIAMOND (4) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish sixth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1m4f at Sandown-Hillside. Was outdashed but got going late and looks suited by the extra ground. Sure to be tough to hold out. SING FOR PEACE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1m4f at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 4.5 lengths into eighth. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. FLYING PHAROAH (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2m2f at this track, beaten 14 lengths into tenth. Nicely placed to find some form.
