Verdict

CUPID'S DREAM (3) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break nine months ago over 1m at this track. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in three starts. He has the speed to race on the pace, and he will be hard to hold out. MOUNT KOSCIUSZKO (1) returns after a spell of eight months. Looking to emulate his win at Jebel Ali at the beginning of last prep. Has a solid first-up record of two wins and two placings from five starts. One of the genuine hopes in the race. ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU (9) closed last prep with an eighth over 6f at this track on March 14. It is significant that she opened her last campaign with a win at this track over 7f. Watch closely. SMART SYSTEM (12) finished sixth over 6f at this track at his most recent appearance on March 14. He has a tricky gate, but is ready to rumble, and is worth including in all combinations.
