Hadouken is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. SHEZADANDI (10) stoked up late to grab second in a similar race to this two starts back carrying 3kgs more. Just fair in a subsequent outing at Doomben but back in this scenario she makes great appeal. PORT MOURANT (9) was slow out of the gates and never raised backers' hopes over 1820m here last time out. Needs this trip at the fourth run back and a significant weight drop on last start helps. CLYDE (2) stalked the pace and went on to record a game win over 2200m at Doomben a fortnight ago. Sure to be thereabouts again. A DEEL OF HUMOUR (4) caught the eye in the closing stages at Doomben last time. In the mix over an extra furlong on the bigger track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Shezadandi.
