Not clear-cut the lead.
The pace looks okay in this highweight and many of these are jumpers or have a leaping career ahead. ARITE GURU can go forward and outstay these no matter the footing and is expected to do so drawn the ace. COCHISE is in a very winnable race indeed. Logical quinella. WHOPPER'S can swim and has won up to 2000m. Eachway. Tourmaline has not been too bad this time in and fit enough to do something today. Divine Duke is best left-handed and a backrunner but can still place or make the first four in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tricky but Arite Guru looks well set-up.
