In Iso has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. WHISKER TO WHISKER (6) is on the build to better form of late and should get this trip with fitness no issue. Gets conditions to suit and offers plenty of interest. KARMAZONE (2) was ridden cold and finished boldly to win a city mid-week race last start over a similar trip. Jumps six kilos but defies father time in good style and is suited again down in grade. OLYMPIC GAZE (1) drops right back in grade and has a solid record at genuine staying trips. Finds a well-suited claim and drawn to advantage. Sharper showing on the cards. OLD GREGG (3) has been fitted for this with three lead-up runs and worked home hard in a country grade race last time out. Stable ticking over well of late and worth plenty of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Whisker To Whisker win.
