Pace on from the outset with Le Zebra, Gallant Prince and Zombie Missile going forward ahead of A Book Of Days and Walkinastraitline. THE SHAPER (4) is a progressive type who beat a highly regarded type in Angland at Caulfield when last seen over this trip. Bigger field here and more depth but he's got the ratings to take this out as well. MODOWN (2) continues to race well since a win at Pakenham, placing at his past two in good races. He's got a very good record over this trip and draws nicely here with Lane aboard. GALLANT PRINCE (9) won well at Pakenham first up before just missing in a handy midweek race last time out. Should be fitter for that and can measure up. RIPROAR (7) was good behind The Shaper last time and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Shaper on top.
