Strong tempo from the outset with Hulkamania and Original Glaze leading the charge. HYDE (1) has won two from two around this circuit, draws the inside alley and gets 3kg weight relief with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. DIANA'S AFFAIR (13) is knocking on the door of another victory with two consecutive runner-up finishes and Orman stays on top. Right in this. PATMOS ISLAND (2) has a win and a second from two attempts at the course and distance and cannot be discounted. HULKAMANIA (14) doesn't know how to run a bad race and is a must for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hyde to win.
