STRING THEORY (4) has switched yards since finishing fourth three weeks ago over 1207m at this track. Winning chance for the new barn. AL'S ROMEO (6) finished eighth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 27 lengths. Should be in this for a long way. NATORADE (3) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when eighth over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. KING PEANUT (1) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Francisco Arrieta gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.

Last start sat on the pace when 3rd of 12 at this track on February 16 over 1207m, 4 len behind Brahms Image with 56kg at $11. The run before that won by 0.5 len at this track January 3 over 1207m defeating Task carrying 55kg at $14. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
