De Lord to take charge ahead of Trojan's Princess at a good tempo. ALGORITHMIC (4) looks well placed. He hasn't quite measured up to some early promise but battled on well late at Seymour over 1400m second up, giving the indication the mile would be right up his alley. He can land in a trailing spot from the inside gate and break through. ASHINA (10) ran a cracking race on debut at Cranbourne when flashing home for second which saw him backed into $1.55 at Kerang in an easier race last time. She was disappointing there but she's worth another chance. LEVERAGED BUYOUT (5) put in a good effort last start at Moe when beaten under a length. He lands in a good spot and takes beating. PICK A SYMPHONY (2) has just found one better in three runs this time in and has claims again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Algorithmic to win.
