Thorogood should be able to comfortably find the front. BERNBRAE (5) has returned in good order, finishing 3.3L off a good winner in heavy conditions last time out. She should be suited by the rise in trip and the blinkers come off now. She's placed 2/3 third-up and with a nice run in transit anticipated, she can run over the top and end her winning drought. QUEEN OF JERUSALEM (2) fronts up again following a tough effort last start over 2200m here. Draws the inside and should get her chance again as she drops back in grade. Best form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. MASTER TACTICIAN (4) steps out to this distance for the first time after an impressive win over 1650m last start. The step up in distance doesn't appear an issue and he still has improvement to come being lightly raced. Can make an impact. FLASH PADDY (1) was far too good last start and can go on with the job. RED DWARF (6) is better than he's shown his past couple and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Bernbrae.
