Mauritius Race 4 - 7f Stakes
SIRIANO (7) is the one to beat with 5kg off his latest run and a return to the track-and-distance profile that produced his win two starts ago. The last-start seventh as favourite over 990m was plain, but his Benchmark 41 win by just over a length showed he is effective under these conditions and the winning rider is back aboard. STATED (2) resumes from three months away after a Benchmark 56 win at this venue and brings the most consistent recent campaign, with a win and a placing from three starts at this track and distance. MFETHU (6) has to rebound from a well-beaten fourth, but his previous Benchmark 56 second was strong enough for this and the weight relief is significant. SALT 'N PEPPA (1) was disappointing as an odds-on favourite when resuming, though his prior Benchmark 56 win and strong jockey record keep him a genuine placing chance if he finds that earlier form.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth in a Benchmark 56 at this track, beaten seven lengths as a short odds-on favourite. That was below what his prior win over War Chariot suggested, having scored by a nose in the same grade. His career record remains sound and Nunes has won twice on him, but he has to turn the latest effort around to land a placing.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a Benchmark 56 win at this track, scoring by a nose from Spirit's Unite when near the top of betting. The run prior was a sound third over 1500m, beaten two lengths, so his recent profile is reliable. Two wins and two placings from six starts over the past 12 months reinforce the consistency, and he has a strong platform first-up.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a poor last placing in Middle Stakes grade at this track, where he was never competitive and beaten out of sight. His earlier Kenilworth fifth on soft ground was much better, beaten just over two lengths, and he does have two wins at this distance. Even so, the latest local run leaves him with plenty to prove.

Returns from an eight-month spell for his first look at this venue, bringing Kenilworth form that is better than it may first read. He was fifth in a Benchmark 82 over 1200m before the break, beaten just over two lengths after firming near the top of an open market, and had tackled Open grade prior. Barrier one helps a likely forward runner, making him a place hope if ready.

Returns from a five-week let-up with a much kinder weight after carrying 62kg at his past two starts. He was fifth over 990m last time, beaten just under six lengths, but the second to Holy Star two runs back reads better. His one win and four placings from seven starts at this track and distance make him a realistic place chance back under more suitable conditions.

Returns from a six-week let-up with a useful 3.5kg drop from his latest run, when fourth in a Benchmark 46 at this track and beaten just over nine lengths as one of the better-fancied runners. The stronger reference is his previous Benchmark 56 second, beaten just over half a length. Yet to win at around 1365m but has placed twice from three tries, so a rebound puts him right in the minor-money picture.

Returns from a five-week let-up with 5kg weight relief and a return to the track-and-distance range that produced his win two runs back. He was disappointing as a well-supported favourite over 990m last start, finishing seventh, but the previous Benchmark 41 success by just over a length showed he can finish the job under these conditions. With the winning rider back, he gets a strong chance to rebound.
