HEAVEN'S CHAMPION (3) Shot clear to win by a margin of 3L last start at the track but competing in a higher grade. Sofia Vives and James Bentley Begg work well together. Appears well in this. ARMINO (6) First run back from break. Picked up nicely to win last time here and showing improvement in recent outings. Will be trying to topple them late. Strong chance. SECRET THREAT (1) First up after a break. Attacked the line when 2nd last start around here and can save some energy from the draw. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Can win this. HAPPY QUAD (2) First up and produced an eye catching run when 2nd first up last preparation at the track. Have to respect the recent stable form. Can make a claim.

Resuming after a break. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start around here and drawn beautifully. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Very capable of taking this out.
