TOUTEIRAN (7) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only sixth over 1600m at this track. Has ability and can return to winning form. EIKO KAISER (1) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish sixth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1400m here. Certain to be winding up strongly. RIKO MAULER (12) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1400m at this circuit when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.3 lengths. Ready to go one better. MELO PEARL (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this course, beaten 3 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
