Genuine tempo with the speedy Blessed Eagle leading the way. Competitive affair. PHILLIP ISLAND (2) just missed the frame in G3 company last time out and will appreciate the drop back in grade here. Boasts a win over this distance range and will be cherry-ripe now fourth run back from the spell. Sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. The well-related REACHIN' OUT (7) (half to G2 winner and 3xG1 placed Zousain) didn't measure up at G2 level when resuming but will have come on with that run now under the belt. Watch for sharp improvement. PEYTON (6) shed the maiden tag at Gosford first-up and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Include from the inside marble. BLESSED EAGLE (3) also hails from a handy family (half to Listed winner Royal Tribute) and must be respected out of the Waterhouse/Bott yard. Only needs some luck crossing from the wide draw to be featuring in the finish. THE THORNCASTER (9) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,7,6,3.
