Plenty of pace with Soldier Of Rome and Smart Legend leading from Natural Deduction. CASUAL CONNECTION (2) worked through the line with purpose to be beaten just a length last time out over 1550m at the Kensington track. Ready to peak at the third run back and this distance is more to his liking. NATURAL DEDUCTION (11) is a promising three-year-old who came with a powerful finish to score a dominant win recently over 1600m at Hawkesbury. Tackles his toughest assignment to date but getting out to this distance should see further improvement. FOR VICTORY (7) made it three minor placings in a row when a closing third over the mile at Warwick Farm last start. Sure to be competitive. SMART LEGEND (10) has been about the mark without winning of late. New to this trip but must be respected. EARTH DANCE (4) found the line well first-up over 1400m at the Kenso. Five weeks between runs is a worry, particularly over an extra 500m, but he is talented. SUGGESTED PLAY: Casual Connection each-way.
