RICHARD AVE (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a leading contender. MIDNIGHT MAESTRO (3) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 8 lengths away in fifth over 1m1f at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. IMPERATUS (10) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Turf) over 1m1/2f, beaten 0.3 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but will still be competitive. LAST RUN (1) was prominent into the straight last time but tired late to finish 3.5 lengths away in fourth over 1m at this track (Turf). Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him.
