Solid tempo anticipated with Thermodynamic taking charge. SHOWRUNNER (2) had been in flying form with back-to-back wins before failing to fire in tougher company over 2000m at Flemington. The drop back in trip suits perfectly and this assignment is far more manageable. Expect a sharp return to form. FLYWAY (3) bounced back strongly to score here last start. The form around him stacks right up and he looks a genuine winning hope over a preferred trip. Expect him to settle back early from the wide gate and be saved for the final shot at them. SOMEWHERE SOON (10) broke through impressively here last start and keeps Johnstone aboard. Faces stronger opposition but gives the impression she’ll keep progressing. THERMODYNAMIC (1) has been sound in his two runs back and is open to sharp improvement third-up. Don't dismiss lightly with Pannell taking over. SUGGESTED PLAY: Showrunner to win.
