Plenty of early pressure from Le Heros and Major Artie battling for the lead over Namazu. The well-related PHOENIX FLYER (16) (half to G2 winner Bring Me Roses and G3 winner Face Value) has hit a purple patch of form of late with three wins and two placings from his past five outings and is yet to miss a place in four runs over this course and distance. Has to be included. ENUFF HE SAID (9) also hails from a handy family (half to 3xG3 winner Rich Hips) and got a confidence building win here at the latest effort. Top-three hope. UNDER THE CAP (11) is a three-time winner here, draws low and gets some weight off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. LE HEROS (14) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Phoenix Flyer each-way.
