A ROSE FOR RAVEN (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just three wins from 34 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. PALIO (2) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when seventh over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. Multiple Group 2 placegetter PROVEN STRATEGIES (8) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't feature last start when 2.25 lengths away in fifth over 6½f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. C MY MEISTER (3) was below his best last time, finishing ninth and beaten 15 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
