Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with I'm Pinker and Calm Is Power leading the charge. YAMABUSHI (1) has gotten better with each run this time in and will be near his peak now fourth-up from the spell. Looks a serious threat. HARTSHORN (5) resumed in good order with a strong Cairns win and will have taken confidence from that victory. Top-three candidate. CALM IS POWER (7) is first-up here but showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in a race like this. In the mix while fresh. WIN AND TONIC (4) has placed two from three over this course and distance and may trouble the judge. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Yamabushi.
