Moderate tempo with Great City leading the way. COVERT WITNESS (6) progressed nicely second up when running into the placings here just under a fortnight ago. Cherry-ripe third up and is drawn favourably with Holder piloting again. Ready. LORD VALEN (5) has done a good job to finish in the placings in his three runs back. Fitter again and also draws well. Expect him to be in this for a very long way. FAIR LEGACY (7) was super fresh when beaten narrowly off a long break at Mt Gambier. Treading cautiously second up but she could prove hard to stop. OCHEROUS (8) resumes and takes benefit from a soft trial in. Don't underestimate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Covert Witness.
