Stake: $4,100

FROM NOW ON (5) impressed when posting a dominant 17.06 over 295m at this track three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Rates a top chance if runs up to time three back. WINGATUI WIZARD (4) showed good early speed and led throughout to score his maiden two back then finished third last start and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track over 525m (30.89). Has placed two times at this track. Expecting another good run. PAW XIAN (6) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fifth (31.35) in a Class 1 at this track. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. MAX EFFORT (3) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage second (30.95) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Overdue and is among the main hopes.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior went down fighting when second (26.69) over 457m at Ascot Park. Has to overcome a wide draw but in the mix on his best form.

Didn't complete the course last start. Reasonable effort the start before when second over 525m at this track. Not suited by wide draw and looking to others this time.
