Plenty of early pressure with Pagato, Voldemort and Shadyvale Storm leading the charge.
TROPIC SANDS (6) made a long-sustained run from midfield last start and was only narrowly beaten by Hadouken over this course and distance in this grade. Has to overcome a wide draw but can go one better here. GIDDY GAN'S JOY (9) is racing in good form and backed up a dominant Ipswich maiden win over 2200m two back with a hard-fought win at Grafton. Capable of making it a hat-trick here. SHADYVALE STORM (2) will be fitter for two runs back from a spell and has won multiple races around this distance range on this track so has to be respected. The five-race winning sequence for PAGATO (1) came to an end last start. He was still gallant when third under his big weight and can be expected to turn in another gallant showing here. VOLDEMORT (7) could be one for multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to go with Tropic Sands.
