Cork Harbour has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. DUAL PRESSURE (3) made it a winning stable debut when resuming at headquarters, digging deep late after showing good tactical speed. Carries a big weight again despite the rise in grade but is open to further improvement and can win again for a red-hot stable. THREE RINGS (7) meets Dual Pressure 2kgs better at the weights this time after only going down a long neck last start. Nearing peak and is a great chance to atone. LET'S GET DOWN (2) carries a fitness edge over his main rivals and drops back to a favourable trip off a 35-day freshen. Serious hope. DELIGHTFUL SHECKY (4) returns over a favoured trip and goes well fresh. Inside draw should take him right into the race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dual Pressure to win again.
