The pace looks okay in this field despite lacking numbers as Felix Faure likes to run them along in the lead. The last start winner here SISTABEEL can score again despite being up in grade. The mare drops 3.5kg and is already a dual course winner so the trio of saluting looks a very strong likelihood indeed. STAND TALL won his only start here. Drawn to be in the finish again. HAMMER KING has some dash and the class dropper on when last seen out was third in a trial earlier this month so is ready to rumble. Quinella and trifecta chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sistabeel is a straight up win wager.
