Stay Silent and Stonecoat can burn across from wide out and set a strong tempo. CELTICS (11) looks the one to beat. He's been very good his past two in strongly run races, pushing Cruiserweight to a length two starts ago before just missing last time. To open grade now but he should be hard to hold out. BOTANICAL BOY (6) did enough first up at Sandown Hillside on a heavy track, working home fairly for fifth. He should improve sharply and did look good last time in winning a couple in a row. STAY SILENT (4) is coming off a tidy win at Sandown Hillside over this trip. He'll roll forward from the wide gate and give a sight again. I'VE BEAN TRYIN' (12) comes down from Sydney in solid form, he needs heavy ground hence the state switch, monitor conditions ZEBRA FINCH (13) had an easy win on Sunday in a small field, he should be thereabouts again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quinella 11,6.
