The speedy duo Mirzann and Disturbia can set the pace from the outset. CADMUS (1) is only having start number 11 as a 5-year-old gelding and will be ready to show his best in this campaign. He made steady progress last prep and was third fresh up at Mornington a fortnight ago. He improves with racing and will be spot-on with his fitness second up for 1700 metres. He slides back in class and should be the one to beat, especially with the benefit of a 3-kilo claim. TOLPUDDLE (2) has won twice on the Heath course here in his last 3 starts and won't find this much harder. His stable is running hot as usual and he can challenge the top pick. DISTURBIA (14) had been in good form before jumping in class and leading all the way at Mornington last start, scoring by nearly 2 lengths in a tough performance. She can take up the running again here and will be the one to peg back again. HOOAH HAVANA (7) is ready to be tested over a middle distance after running on strongly for second over 1500 metres at Yarra Valley last time out. Each-way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Disturbia each-way.
