A solid tempo on the cards with Xaiambi heading them off. MASTER CHARLIE (1) looks to have found the right race to get off the mark in SA straight away. While his Victorian form looks a bit patchy, his best should measure right up in this. He joins a stable that is having a brilliant run this season and gets the services of Todd Pannell from a low draw. Plenty to like about his chances. MANDARIN (12) looks a danger. There's been merit in all three of her runs on wet track and the step to 1300m looks suitable. ME NAME'S HARRY (2) has been racing well here of late, while STARCHO LIBRE (6) is a chance if he can run up to his solid debut performance. Include HOT STRUT (9) in wider plays. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Master Charlie to win.
