With no recognised leader engaged it might be left to Here To Shock, Carini and El Soleado to control the tempo. EL SOLEADO (5) overcame a wide draw to beat a handy lineup at Bendigo in the Golden Mile there 3 weeks ago. He arrived just in time that day, scoring by half a length. He is up in weight but this doesn't look as hard and he can settle a lot closer to the pace this time from a superior gate. He prefers a good track and can double the dose. CARINI (7) is down in class after 4 runs in Group or Stakes company this prep with his best effort coming 2 starts back on this track when finishing third. He had no luck from a wide draw last time out and is well placed over a mile to return to the money. DASHING (9) may have worked a touch too hard early on last start to find a spot outside the leader and had nothing left for the run home that day. He has 3.5 kilos less to carry here and should be close to his peak fitness now. Each-way value. HERE TO SHOCK (3) was a Group 3 winner here 4 weeks ago and has had a trial since then to keep him up to the mark. Go again even with a 6-kilo weight rise. SUGGESTED PLAY: El Soleado to win.
