Saga

TAIKI MAXWELL (3) Performed below standard when 6th last run around here. Has the ability to turn things around and back over extra ground. Finishes off strongly. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. T M TALISMA (5) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start here and returning to an increased distance. Has early speed and positions nicely. Jockey Isao Yamaguchi is highly regarded. This field suits. ECORO FALCON (4) Not up to scratch when 9th last run at this venue. Should come to hand quickly. Not out of this. S C ALBER (7) Came in 5th last run at the track. Has the talent to rebound quickly and hard to fault at the distance. Has plenty of early speed. No shock to see a win.
