Just a moderate tempo without an obvious speed influence. POWERING AWAY (3) has been competitive in all five starts and can be forgiven for his latest effort at Wangaratta after racing wide against stronger opposition. His previous Mildura second reads well for this and the Patrick Payne-trained gelding looks ideally placed to break through. TSAVO (7) resumes after showing ability in his first prep and has impressed in recent jump-outs. With natural improvement and a forward showing expected fresh, he looms as the main danger. RAMELLE (11) strips fitter after a sound first-up effort at Donald and should appreciate getting to 1206m second-up. Drawn to secure a soft run and can improve sharply. I'LBERIDIN'SHOTGUN (1) has race experience on his side and can be prominent with even luck. LOTS OF TORQUE (9) is the value runner capable of improving sharply and wouldn't surprise at odds if he produces his best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Powering Away to win this.
