HEXCEL (3) is still a maiden after 14 starts. Managed to find the placings at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fifth over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) last start. Won't get too many better chances to open his account. BRONTE DIEM (4) finished 9 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5f at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Sure to run well. MR LEO AND JOSE (7) is a six-start maiden who finished seventh, beaten 21 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Among the leading chances with the run under his belt. Set Weights EET PRESENT (8) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was beaten 11 lengths into fourth over 1m1/2f at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
