Lightly raced DANTE'S PARADISO back in form last start at 2nd run after a spell. Won 4 in a row in fine style late 2003 including 2000 at Randwick.
Dangers - THUNDAROSA and MAHTOUM.

Very open IMO.
1 Dante's Paradiso looked to be a possible star in the making before an injury enforced spell. Nice run last start indicated on the way back.

Not so much back in form, as reaching his peak and preferred distance range. 1. Dante's Paradiso is the only sensible top selection. The step up to 2,000m is ideal after he showed terrific finishing speed to go down less than a length in the Villiers over 1,600m. 3 of his 4 wins to date are in the 1,800 to 2,000m range. This race is a massive class drop from the Villiers. He will be fitter 3rd up, and he's yet to reach his expected peak based on his last campaign. Jim Cassidy keeps the ride. Finally, 4.Terrace and 7. Institution will set up a good-fast tempo, while Dante's Paradiso can take a nice trail in the back half of the field and work into the race (probably behind 5.Mahtoum).

5. Mahtoum looks the danger. He was a very promising staying 3yo. He's starting to regain form after three runs in from a 16 month break.

Nice to see Mahtoum racing well again after some 18months off the scene due to injury. Ran on gamely last start when runner-up behind Vereza over this course and distance. Similar weight again.

(1) Dante's Paradiso.
(5) Mahtoum.
(8) Inuit.
(2) Salgado.

Cheers.

Dante's Paradiso with 2 sound runs since a spell looks ready to return to very good form prior to spell.

THUNDAROSA was a little unlucky last start over this journey but still got to the line strongly. EW
