Solid tempo with The Albion to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. KESSLER (1) has led all the way to win his last couple of starts, and this tactic seems to have done the trick. He had 3 lengths to spare over his rivals last time out, and an extra 3kg in a lesser class, should not be enough to stop him from completing the hat-trick. RISING FIRE (2) may not win often, but he is seldom far away from the top 3 and was runner-up here by a length last week. He cops a tougher draw this time, but another honest effort is on the cards. BEATIFICATION (8) only battled after having a tough trip here 7 days ago, and he is expected to bounce straight back into the money from a superior gate this time. FRANKFURT (3) has been out of the money over a mile in his last couple of starts and will be suited by dropping back to 1300m. Don't risk him. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kessler is on target for a hat-trick of wins.
