Genuine tempo with Nation's Call and Master Montaro battling for early supremacy. NATION'S CALL (4) resumes for the new yard after 293 days and brings compelling form from one of Ireland's top stables. He races handy and has been well prepared for a first-up tilt. No surprise if the Frankel entire has them covered. IMPENDING LINK (5) won a Pakenham 64 second-up as favourite and has returned to racing further improved. Fitter again and maps to get all, the favours. MASTER MONTARO (1) is a well-performed galloper who's been mixing trips at Flemington in stronger grade. Steps back up to 1400m and the 3kg claim brings him into it. BLOW IN (2) peaks for the Stokes yard and we should see a better effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Want to be with Nation's Call at his first Australian start.
