Testing The Cugat and Fairness Is Best can set an even tempo. UNTETHERED (4) made light work of his rivals at Ararat and has kept the engine warm with a trial since. He’s got the tactical speed to offset the wide alley and can keep the momentum rolling. KING EDWARD (8) has hit a purple patch, stringing together two strong wins and shaping like a horse who’ll relish the anticipated tempo. Expect him to be charging late. PALACE GREEN (2) was a sharp winner fresh at Naracoorte then left himself with too much to do at Cranbourne. He strips fitter third-up and if Heywood can make full use of the low draw, he’s a genuine threat. THINK I DO (7) continued her good form when closing strongly into the placings at Kembla Grange last time. Backs up quickly and will run the trip. Have to include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Untethered.
