Nothing to run them along here so the pace looks average at best. BUZZ CITY (3) debuted at Cranbourne over 1000m and ran a strong race, beaten just two lengths by a smart type in what looks a strong race. Better for that run, up in trip now looks ideal and he'll be very hard to hold out. IDHANA (5) resumes. He debuted in a very hot G3 Pago Pago behind Golden Slipper winner Shinzo. Now with Price & Kent Jnr, he was outclassed there but looks far better placed here. Keep safe. MY XANADU (8) is a well-bred filly by Fastnet Rock out of G1 winner Lights Of Heaven. Watch the market. DIVINE BELLE (6) is a filly by Divine Prophet on debut for Jerome Hunter. Can run well. MAGIC OF DUBAI (7) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Buzz City on top.
