Makdane, Lygon Street Luigi and Matthew Mark to take up the running at a strong tempo. MAKDANE (6) is a leader who improved again beaten a whisker this track/trip in stronger grade. The in-form Ben Allen stays aboard and he will use the inside barrier. He can go one better. LADY SADLER (14) has been racing in better company in town and hasn't been too far away. She's raced well at Group 3 level at a mile and she maps well. Gets her chance at this level. THE AUTUMN BELLE (7) also finds easier and has been within range both starts this preparation. She is Stakes placed and with the extra fitness she will be hitting the line. LYGON STREET LUIGI (3) came here threatening a win but didn't get into it. Peaks and the 3kg claim is handy. Good enough at best and may be worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Makdane.
