DANTES (1) made a strong late bid only to just miss when fresh from a lay-off as favourite last start over 6f at this track. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. BAO BUN (4) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 6f at Launceston, finishing second and beaten a nose. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. TRIXIE (9) impressed when successful on debut over 5f at Devonport Synthetic three weeks ago. Sure to play a major role. KINGS ON QUEENS (10) drifted back and never threatened when seventh last start over 7f at Launceston. Finds a nice race and can atone.
