Plenty of pace with Panacea and Lim's Shavano up front, pressured by Super Express and Ghorgan. SUPER EXPRESS (9) has gone under at the post his past couple, beaten a head last start when the $2.20 favourite at this track and trip. The first two put a massive gap on third and he looks to get every chance again this time. Nice trial between runs and he can go one better this time. DAZZLING FIT (6) landed midfield last start and scored a comfortable win to bring up back-to-back victories at this track and trip. He drops in weight as he rises in class today, but his last couple of SP's tell the tale of his quality. Wouldn't surprise to see him continue through the grades. SOUTH STAR (7) was 3L off Super Express last start in third and stuck on well, albeit no match for Super Express. He still has plenty of upside however and with a kind map once again, he can be in the finish. SHAMUS STORM (12) was impressive over the top last start as favourite in easier company and Purton remains in the saddle. Expected to go close despite the rise in grade.
