Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Aichi Icon. AICHI ICON (2) turned in a moderate performance when fresh from a six-month spell over 1400m at Hawkesbury last start, battling on evenly for a midfield finish. Finds an easier assignment today and should enjoy a soft run up on the speed. Nicely placed to score. LAST STRAW (1) has failed to threaten in her two runs this time in work. Narrowly beaten in town last prep so she has more class than her rivals. Expect a return to form today in a softer race. TOKYO RUN (3) was never a factor first-up in the rich Panorama over 1300m at Bathurst. At his best over the mile so back in grade with added fitness he makes plenty of appeal. ELLENMAC (4) is going well and can figure again on a five-day back-up. REALLY MOTIVATED (7) is a non-winner but is worth including in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Not a lot separates the top three picks but leaning to Aichi Icon.

Better than recent form suggests and expected to improve sharply. |
