Solid tempo anticipated with Tomcat Flowers heading them off. WILLIE OPPA (7) strengthened up over the lengthy break when he returned with an eye-catching fourth to Spaceballs over 1200m at Warwick Farm. Would have come on further now and the extra trip is in his favour. Goes close. PATISSIER (5) Proisir gelding from a Jimmy Choux mare on debut for the O'Shea and Charlton yard. Finished off strongly in both trials and look for him attacking the line. Each way. SUPREME STATEMENT (6) disappointed on resumption when stalking the good tempo and failing to go on with it to run sixth over Warwick Farm. Blinkers added and expect to see him ridden with more intent. ELEGANT ARTIST (9) fitter now after being outsprinted in the straight when returned with a plugging fourth over 1250m at Canterbury. Likely improver out to the 1400m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Willie Oppa to get off the mark.
