Genuine tempo with Hellivit leading the way. LUNA FIELD (8) has been well placed to win his last couple of starts on this track, and he will have 2kg less to carry this time in a field that is not much stronger. A good draw will make him the one to beat again. LA BOQUERIA (10) did not let down as expected here last time out and will have the tongue tie fitted this time. She will be peaking third up from a spell, and is poised to put her best hoof forward this time. DEVILS DELIGHT (1) was a touch unlucky when finishing less than 2 lengths from the winner as favourite here 11 days ago. He is down slightly in grade this time, and he can stay out of trouble early on from a wide draw. Stick with him. Each-way. SUNZOU (7) had been mixing his form in South Australia and has since joined the local Chris Nash yard. He has had some gear changes, and a change of scenery could be just what he needs. Don't risk him. TELLEZ (3) only battled into fourth from a wide draw here last start. He gets a big swing in his draw this time. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sunzou for some each-way value.
