INESPERADO (8) was well fancied last start over 1m at this track (Turf) when seventh, beaten 7 lengths. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and a minor placing from six starts. Expected to be in the finish. AVALON KING (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. ZUMURUDEE (1) finished 6 lengths behind the winner in seventh place when resuming over 1m last start at this track (Turf). Has a fair record when second up, including four top-three finishes. Expected to feature. PLAYOFF BOUND (3) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1m at this track (Turf) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1.5 lengths. Capable of another top-three outcome.
