VIRAT (5) returned from a break last start and led throughout to score by 1.75 lengths over 6f at this track (Turf). Sure to take some stopping again. GRAZED (7) has been hard to fault, scoring three in a row before hitting the frame at the last two including a third most recently over 6f at this track (Turf) when he was always up in the leading division. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. Group 1 placegetter SANTO DIOS (1) hadn't been far away prior to finishing 4.5 lengths adrift in 11th last start over 1m at this track (Turf). Has a high cruising speed. One of the main contenders. KING APOLLO (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 6f at this track (Turf). Likely improver with top-three prospects.
