Magic Field is expected to lead at a strong tempo. ALBERTVILLE (5) is perfectly placed to bring up the hat-trick after producing a powerful finish from well off the pace to score at Mornington last start. He’s a horse who does his best work late and Jamie Melham sticking. Kept on the fresh side for this as he drops back in trip. Sure to take some stopping. SOLAR BLAST (11) closed off nicely into a midfield finish when resuming at Oakbank. Strips fitter and gets weight off with gun apprentice in Johnstone claiming 2kgs. Likely to threaten. SANTASTICO (2) was disappointing before the break but has shown glimpses of ability. Watch the market for a lead on his chances in this return. WINNING REVOLUTION (1) is another that returns and boasts a solid record over this course and distance. Have to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Albertville will be very hard to beat.
