From wide gates En Francais heads forward to challenge the nicely drawn Second To Nun who will be prominent for Kah. POUNDING (2) sets up perfectly for this third-up off the back of two solid chasing efforts back in Victoria. Boasts a terrific record over this journey and gets a key jockey booking in Shinn. Expect him to be fighting out the finish. JIMMY THE BEAR (11) couldn't live up to market support fresh but was far from disgraced. Usually needs the run and takes benefit from reuniting with Egan. Will appreciate the rise in trip and is right in the mix. SIRILEO MISS (4) can be excused for not featuring first-up off a long break. Talented mare on her day and could blow them away if at best. Keep very safe. BARBIE'S FOX (14) doesn't win out of turn but has been tackling some tough races. Drawn ugly but will be taking the strongest strides late. Watch for her climbing over their backs. CHICAGO STORM (6) is going too good to ignore. SUGGESTED PLAY: Win bet Pounding.
