ZIO LORENZO (6) improved last start to finish second over 5½f at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LIEUTENANT STAN (5) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 5½f at this track (Synthetic) when beaten 3.5 lengths. Hard to beat once again. STAR OF THE BEAST (7) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 5½f at this track (Synthetic), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Looks well placed and he cannot be underestimated. WINE EMPIRE (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track (Synthetic) over 5f after he was well back on straightening. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
