Genuine pace with Hold This taking up the running ahead of Tuscan War and Blue Cattle Dog. No spoils here but HOLD THIS (4) looks set to break through. Has just missed in his two runs to date when well supported, last time gifting the leader too much rope before driving hard late to make it close. Peaking now and keeps McDougall. Clearly the one to beat. UNDERCUT (10) makes his stable debut for the Brisbourne camp and while he showed little in his first two starts, he looks to have come on nicely during the break, scoring stylishly in a recent Tatura trial. Drawn well and is a chance to trouble the favourite. HOT TODDY (5) finds it hard to break the maiden but has competitive efforts scattered through his form. His last run before the break was a minor placing here in a strong maiden, so he can sneak into the frame. CALPASTATIN (7) was doing his best work late when resuming into third here. A likely improver worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hold This is too short, so having something on Undercut.
