ARISTOTLE (9) is back after a break of five months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 7f at Kenilworth. Looks the one to beat. AFRIQUE (4) stepped out on his debut over 6¼f at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Likely improver and worth following up. HONOR OF KINGS (5) faced the starter for the first time and finished sixth last start at this track over 6¼f, beaten 5 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt. THUNDER DOWNUNDER (1) is a three-year-old gelding on debut by Captain Of All from Hope Downs who has been a fine producer including winners at black type level. Has the aid of a nice alley and should be in the finish.
