Genuine tempo. Group 3 winner SPECIAL SWEY (7) has been competing in much harder grade in Sydney and will find this assignment an easier task. Gets Orman on board from the inside alley and looks the one they all have to run down. HOLSTEIN (9) strips fitter third-up from the spell and must be respected from the Dunn stable. Top-three hope. INDIAN DREAMER (2) is yet to miss a place in three starts over this track and trip and can bounce back to form against this line-up. The well-related WAIRERE FALLS (3) (half to 4xG1 winner Sacred Falls) rounds out the selections in an open race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Special Swey to win.
