Hot tempo expected with Great Buy, That's Justified and Desert Lass heading the charge.
KICKATORP (4) built strongly to a well-deserved win here just over a fortnight ago. He won't find this any harder and gets to carry the same weight. He is having another crack at 1400 metres and with a soft time in front or close to the pace, he will be hard to beat again. DESERT LASS (3) kicked strongly after hitting the front in the home stretch last start and went down fighting, finishing runner-up in a far stronger field. Her record over this trip is strong and she can go one better this time. THAT'S JUSTIFIED (2) is a wonderful veteran who recorded win number 21 on this course when winning a 2-horse race last time out by half the length of the home straight. He can never be ruled out here. FLYING YISHU (5) is back to his best with a brace of wins most recently in lesser company. He is beautifully placed at the weights after a 3 kilo claim and a hat-trick is not beyond him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Desert Lass each way.
