Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Tarps. The well-related FIELD OF MYRTLE (8) (half to 2xG3 winner and G2 placed Holyfield) is one from one around this circuit and gets some weight off with the 2kg claim. Just ran into one better last time out and doesn't need to improve much to be fighting out the finish. ANAVINCI (6) also hails from a handy family (half to G2 winner Packing Rockstar) and just missed the placings at the latest effort. Is another to get some weight relief and rates a leading contender. CHERRY ROSE (7) has a solid winning strike rate and will strip fitter third-up from the spell. In the mix. SURFERS ROYALE (3) has won over this course and distance and gets winning rider Jones on top again. Top-three candidate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Field of Myrtle to win.
