---|---|---|---|---|
Svavarsson looks the most likely to push forward and lead from the good draw. Pace only moderate. Svavarsson will roll forward and with a clean jump Albert Of Monaco will be close at hand. FASTQUEST has placed three of last four and is overdue for a win. Was a shade unlucky in a highway at Randwick last time so is the one to beat despite the draw. THE BOHEMIAN resumed with a win over 1500m. Fitter for the run and the extra ground suits. Should run well again. ALBERT OF MONACO is racing well including a last start maiden win. Can go on with it. ZUCCHERINA is also a last start winner who should measure up but will need luck from the wide gate. STATELY LADY is overdue and looks next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fastquest for the win.
