Couldthisbetheone and Saker Falcon will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. AMAZAKE (6) did enough first up at Geelong over 1425m when blowing the cobwebs out, working home to the line to grab sixth in a decent effort. He showed good ability in two runs in his debut campaign, starting $4.20 in a Listed race at Flemington second up last time in. Looks a staying type who should appreciate this trip and will just need a good ride from the draw. COULDTHISBETHEONE (8) is knocking on the door, placing in his past two, working home well at Mornington last time out to grab third. He sets up nicely from the low gate and should take some beating. MATSUDA (10) tackled the Derby Preview at Flemington last time out and wasn't disgraced when beaten five lengths into eighth. The run prior at Sandown Hillside reads very well for this and he can bounce right back. CHAGFORD (7) is a Frankel colt on debut for the Hayes yard who has to be respected for strong connections. FABULOUS FIANO (9) could give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amazake to win.
