Solid pace with East Indiaman finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. EASY CAMPESE (4) put the writing on the wall last start when beaten a neck. Gets in well at the weights and is drawn to advantage. Will take plenty of stopping. MY KHALIFA (2) is yet to find his best this campaign but has shown glimpses. Will enjoy the drop in grade and is aided at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged. Could just blow them away if he brings his A-game. POLAND (3) is another that has been out of sorts for a little while but is a talented type on his day. Tackles an easier assignment and gets a key jockey booking in Toeroek. Don't take lightly. LAST GIRL LOVE (5) had her last run nearly a year to the day. Treading carefully off long break but the trial in looked good and has an inside gate to assist her chances. Last-start winner EAST INDIAMAN (6) deserves respect and can be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Easy Campese. Saving on My Khalifa.
