Shameful and Villasanti to take up the running at a genuine tempo. VILLASANTI (1) got going too late here last time out and ran on strongly late to finish third. He will relish stepping up to a mile for the first time, and with Michael McNab taking over the reins, he is clearly the one to beat. FOREVER YOUNG (2) ran his best race since relocating South when finishing runner-up by a short-head here nearly a fortnight ago. He has a better draw now, and his first win is not far away. REVISION (11) is dropping back from 2200m and should be better off for now over a mile. She won't lack fitness, and the blinkers going on can make all the difference. Stick with her. VOID (5) picked up some solid ground after getting the shuffle up here last start, finishing fourth. She has the pole position and is well worth including in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Villasanti should be winning this race.
