Reasonable tempo with Tokyo Bandit probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. SHAKE'N'BAKE (1) simply found the first up outing too short three weeks back here. The added ground will have to be of benefit and given he races best at this course, he can still contend nicely. DROP THE PILOT (8) resumes with the winkers off. This does appear to be the best sort of distance range for him even at his age. MYSTERY POWER (6) raced on the speed and held on gamely a month ago. Backing that effort up sees him with a good hope. TOKYO BANDIT (3) was unwanted in the market when resuming last start at this track over 1200m and finished fifth. Fitter and look for an improved run here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Not an easy race but Shake'n'bake is a play here.
