Expecting Sun Beauty and Toulon Factor to press forward and set the tempo. JUAN PABLO (1) big drop in grade and gets the right set-up at this track from the low draw. No match for the progressive King Pedro when second over 2100m at Gosford. At his top now and will take catching. BANYAN TREE (3) improving Star Turn gelding who turned in an eye-catching run when third over 1600m at Gosford. Can race a little closer today and gives the impression he will relish the 2000m. SUN BEAUTY (10) deep into the preparation and on the quick backup after finishing fifth in a 1700m contest at Wellington. Each-way contender. BROADCAST BOOGIE (8) is starting to hit her straps and should have little trouble getting the 2000m. Sharp Maiden winner two-back, before surging late when fourth over 1700m at Wellington. Will go back from the draw and be ridden for luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Juan Pablo can get the job done.
