Verdict

CHEONGUNG STORM (10) ran well below his best last time over 1m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into fourth at $3.25. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Best figures should see him run well. GRACE ROUTE (4) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.3 lengths adrift in third over 7f at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Will play a major role. KHAN MAX (7) returns from a spell. Finished seventh at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep four months ago. Settles back early but winds up late. Should be competitive. HIGH FOLLY (11) performed above expectations last time over 7f at this track, getting the prize by 2.5 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Deserves respect on best figures.
