Good early pressure with Apple Cider and Hot Bananas to vie for the lead. The well-related BREAKING GROUND (1) (half to G2 winner Gypsy Diamond) has hit the top four in five of six starts this preparation and has been racing very consistently. Gets 2kg off with the claim and a bold showing is expected. VACATION LEAVE (9) is one from one over this journey and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Is another to get some weight relief and looms as the main danger. DIMENSION (3) just missed the placings over this course and distance last time out and looks a top-three commodity on best form. APPLE CIDER (5) has placed two from three here and strips fitter third-up from the break. In the mix. HOT BANANAS (8) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Breaking Ground to win.
