Moderate tempo with Grecian Lass leading the way. TENZING (5) was spelled following the deserved 68 win at Eagle Farm over this distance and needed the first-up outing there. Has more to give and has won 2/4 second-up and placed the other two. Maps for a soft run and Orman stays aboard. MASCARET (4) missed a whisker here and at Eagle Farm after. They stack up and she's a decent chance to go one better. Orman gets off Waller stablemate JUPITUS (7) but Maloney is a more than capable alternate. Brought strong Victorian form to Eagle Farm following a freshen, but got back and wasn't placed under any pressure late in the piece. Is back after 11 days suggesting all is in order. On song he can feature. GOLDEELUCK (3) brings good form to peak and also has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Tenzing.
