Plenty of pace with My Star and Italian Spirit leading from Iommi.
LAFITE (4) impressed last start when fresh from a spell over this distance at Newcastle, hitting the line with purpose to be beaten just a long neck. Looks to have come on from last prep and is ideally placed to go one better. ITALIAN SPIRIT (1) last raced when down the track at Canterbury nine months ago. Ran a cheeky race on debut at the Beaumont track at the only other appearance. Trialling extremely well and looks set for a bright return. IOMMI (3) settled further back than expected but did wind up late to grab fourth when resuming over 1250m at Canterbury recently. Should race a lot closer from the inside gate and a much better showing looks on the cards. TOUCHING HANS (6) has had plenty of chances. Back in trip today - maybe throw him in the wider exotics. MY STAR (7) almost stole it here at this trip last start. Likely leader who will give backers a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to be with Lafite.
