LIVEHAPPY (2) recorded a strong maiden win over 1308m at this track (Synthetic) last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Winning rider Luan Machado stays aboard and a bold showing is expected. DARK DANGER (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. RULOOKINFORRAYRAY (3) finished ninth at this track and distance at his last appearance ten weeks ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims. GALANTINI (6) produced another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1308m at this track. No surprise to see him in contention.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 40 day let-up. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track February 7 over 1308m defeating Ryan's Shadow carrying 56.5kg at $2.85. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on January 7 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Delta Tau Chi carrying 55.5kg at $21.61. Confidence high so a repeat performance is on the cards.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 9 at this track on March 7 over 1308m, 9 len behind Honest Al with 56kg at $2.60. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 10 at this track on January 16 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Bucyk with 55kg at $3.41. Can do a lot better than that last run.
