COUNT HUHTIKUU (2) is yet to break through after three career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Vaal two starts back before finishing fifth over 1m at this track last start. Finds a nice race and this might be his day. THE ULTIMATE KING (13) returned last time with a solid third at Vaal over 7½f. Has the class to take this out. SANTIAGO'S PRIDE (1) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at his latest appearance over 1m1f at Vaal. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. SPLASHLANDING (7) is a three-year-old gelding who is yet to fill a top-three spot in seven starts. Failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last start, beaten 23 lengths into 12th over 1m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Sure to be thereabouts.
