Solid tempo with Why Worry to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. PIASTRI (10) is flying, winning his past two starts in fine fashion. He looks to have found another ideal race here in a winnable BM84 and from the middle draw, he should get every chance again. Clearly the one to beat. BEAST MODE (3) was a dominant winner at Caulfield when last seen, showing too much speed for his rivals. Will look to cross from the wide draw and take catching again. MISS ARIA (8) resumes. She got over a bit further last time in but was running well in some stakes races in Queensland at the end of last campaign. Can sprint well fresh. SUPARAZI (1) was good fresh over this route and is in the mix. Big watch on VERDAD (6) who has plenty of class but does resume at a trip short of his best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Piastri to win.
