A small field that lacks a pacemaker. Small field but a competitive race to kick off the card. TALISAY (5) looks ready to win again and this might be the race for her. She steps up to 2000m, having been in the minor money over 1600m and 1800m at her last two starts. She will roll forward and give herself every chance on speed. GURU WARRIOR (4) is the most progressive horse in the race and he can definitely make it three wins in a row. He was wayward last start but backing the stable in to have him right here. He is versatile and can roll forward or take a sit. There looks a gap to the others. KING OF WESSEX (6) is a prime candidate for an each-way bet. He won an easier race last time but might be able to go on with it. YURI ROYALE (1) looks ready to peak, while STAUNCH (2) brings Victorian form that can measure up here if he travels. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Talisay to beat Guru Warrior.
