In the absence of noted leaders, Casterly Rock and Pure Thoughts may be the ones to set a moderate tempo.
CASTERLY ROCK (2) has been consistent without winning hitting the top-five at his past five outings but strikes a very winnable contest here. Will be at peak fitness now fourth-up from the break and Thornton sticks in the irons from the favourable draw. Rates the testing material. PEAR BELLINI (6) put in a career-best performance when runner-up last time out and must be respected from the Waller camp. Looms as the main danger. Former Victorian STYNSY (1) is having his first run for the new stable but showed ability before the spell and should find this assignment a touch easier. In the mix. RANGER ENJAY (5) returned in good order with a handy second on the Poly and gets the services of Maloney. Top-three aspirations. DESERT ANGEL (9) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Casterly Rock to finally shed the maiden tag.
