Jack Duggan or Sign Of Peace to take the lead and attempt to control the tempo. Former Victorian DILLIAN (6) was heavily supported in his first run for the new stable and didn't let supporters down with a strong Doomben victory. Will have taken a lot from that first-up effort and winning jockey Harley stays on top. Can go back-to-back to start the campaign. GALIFIANAKIS (2) put consecutive wins together before just running into a couple better last time out. Gets 1.5kg off and can make his presence felt. DOUBLE CHERRY (1) has won over this staying test and will be at peak fitness now fourth-up from the break. Top-three conveyance. HECTOR DE MARIS (5) has placed two from three over this journey and is usually thereabouts. Worth including. JACK DUGGAN (3) should be able to cross from the wide draw and sit up on speed. Will be in this for a long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dillian to win again.
