THE METAL FLYER (2) led from this same draw and kept going to record a commanding 8 metre win last start, his second victory at this circuit in his last four outings. Up in grade but can take advantage of the low barrier again. KATES VIRTUE (1) is close to a win having placed in her last three outings here, the last two from this same barrier. Chased THE METAL FLYER as runner up last week. Major player. OURTREACHEROUS REIGN (3) was beaten only 1.8m as runner up two back and didn't do a bad job when fourth last week. Go well. PALATINO (5) draws wider but hasn't been far away in higher-graded races at his last couple.
