Solid tempo set by Devastate and Kipling's Journey.
DEVASTATE (8) was heavy backed second-up last Saturday over 1400m at Eagle Farm but just went under after a two-horse duel with Irish Songs. Has won three from four when third-up. Like the quick back-up over the extra furlong. Ready to win. KRONENBOURG (4) started very short but after giving up the lead was disappointing last time out in a similar race here. Has a marvellous record at this distance so with a smart claim he can turn that form around. DUNE FORTY FIVE (2) defeated some of today's key rivals convincingly here a fortnight ago. Goes up 2.5kgs and not sure there is any improvement there, but he should be competitive again. JETTY (9) led for home but was swamped late and missed the placings under 60.5kgs in a BM85 at Eagle Farm last weekend. Should give them something to catch with 6.5kgs less today. FLYING TRAPEZE (5) chased Dune Forty Five home here last start. Can close that gap under today's weight scale. SUGGESTED PLAY: Confidant Devastate can win the last.
