Genuine tempo with Prince Ragnar and Southern Scandal up front. BOLTA (1) made it five wins in-a-row last time out when winning the $100k final at Ascot, reeling in his rivals from the back of the pack. He returns to his best track and trip, having won 3/4 here and with figures that stack right up in this grade. Can continue his winning run. SOUTHERN SCANDAL (6) made it back-to-back wins after setting the tempo, running away to win by 3.3L at this track and trip. He has the speed to roll across from out wide and the claim of Tsang will see him carry no weight. Expecting him to be tough to reel in once again. PATCHWORK (5) missed in a close finish over 1407m here last start and drops back to the 1200m journey. She hasn't won for a while, though last start showed she was knocking on the door. Carries no weight today and won't be far away. PRINCE RAGNAR (2) can sit up on the speed and turn in another bold effort. GOLD KEEPER (4) hit the line alongside Patchwork last time out and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bolta can keep his winning streak alive.
