Prize Money: -

MO'UNGA (6) turned things around last start when he scored by 3 metres over 2600m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can make it consecutive wins. DA VINCI (4) ran fifth last start at this track over 2600m, beaten 9 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. DREAMS ARE FREE (5) after having scored two straight wins disappointed last time when 14th over 3200m at this track. Can turn things around. RENEGADE (3) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 2600m at this track.
