Speed anticipated from Smooth Tycoon, Mandolize and Alerting. Smooth Tycoon and Alerting should have them on their toes quickly here over a competitive sprint trip. MANDOLIZE finds a nice target to focus on first up. Had a solid first campaign with some competitive city and provincial efforts and resumes as a gelding. Two sharp trials indicate a strong return is likely. SMOOTH TYCOON took to the racing caper impressively when runner up on debut at Wyong. Fitter into this and drawn a softer gate. From an on pace role over a similar trip could be hard to catch. HUTCHO has gone around in some handy races to date and his form since resuming has been solid this time in. Third up and drawn well must be respected. Shaheen showed nice improvement in a recent trial for the Snowden camp and any market push his way should be noted. and the Portelli yard are firing on all cylinders. MANDOLIZE resuming is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smooth Tycoon straight out.
