Genuine tempo with Zanthron leading the way. Small field but plenty of quality here. SIXTEEN REASONS (5) is a smart mare on her day, as she showed in Melbourne last start. She's drawn to get a soft run and has no weight on her back after the 1.5kg claim. She can add another win to her CV. LINGANI (4) is also a quality mare and is proven at Stakes level. She should be ready to peak after a couple of runs back. TWIN PERFECTION (3) has a great winning strike rate and looks well placed here after racing in stronger races in Melbourne lately. ZANTHRON (6) can cope with the rise in class and looks an each-way chance while EXTREMELY LUCKY (2) is a quality horse at his best and might be able to wind back the clock. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sixteen Reasons to win.
