Despite the small field Weigall Tiger, Space Age and Kadall can set a strong tempo. WEIGALL TIGER (2) had been improving with racing this time in and that culminated with a solid win around this circuit last time out. Winning rider Sutherland sticks and again gets the benefit of his 3kg claim. Should be right there at the business end. KADALL (8) has placed four of five this campaign and looks to be knocking on the door of another victory. Include from the low draw. SPACE AGE (5) is a three-time winner over this mile journey and must be respected from the Maher camp. In the mix. SKYFORGER (3) won two back and then ran well above market expectations last start. Honest customer who warrants consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,8,5,3.
