A keen early contest with Cruel Summer and Baroque Road showing pace. HEURISTIC (12) comes out of a solid form race when resuming to finish fourth over 1000m at Randwick Kensington behind Jedibeel on April 25. Drops sharply in weight with the claim and looks hard to hold out. SALISANO (8) above average mare who returned with a sound third over 1100m at Canterbury on April 17. Looks to have come back even stronger this prep and undefeated in both second-up runs. Go close. CRUEL SUMMER (6) can feature. Racing really well and heavy ground is the key. Loves it and this suits on the home track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fancy Heuristic.
