#4 Romantic Laos benefits from a much lower draw in barrier 3 after a tough trip from barrier 9 last time, where he raced wide without cover yet was only beaten four and a half lengths. His prior run suggested another win was near, and this presents a golden opportunity for him to capitalise on more favourable conditions. #9 Glorious Journey resumed with an unlucky eighth-place finish, beaten only three lengths despite racing wide without cover. A better run in transit should see him bounce back second-up. #5 Soleil Fighter can be followed after his first local win at this course and distance on IJC night, as more improvement is expected. #11 Fortune Superstar remains unplaced locally but has shown steady progress. His last-start fifth over 1800m, beaten less than a length after attempting to lead throughout, was a solid effort.
