Keen early pace with Mcadam, Rip 'N' Rip and Saltburn locking horns. MCADAM (7) narrowly on top. All three runs this time in have been good, just edged out at Cranbourne two back before a tough effort at Mornington over 1500m last time. He can track the main danger in the run here and get the breakthrough. RIP 'N' RIP (4) did beat Mcadam home at Mornington, finishing second on that occasion. He's just found one better at all three runs this time in but continues to race well and should have the pace to offset the gate. SALTBURN (8) has raced twice for two seconds, only beaten a nose at Mornington last time out. He can kick up from the inside gate and should take catching. DARE TO (2) is an entire by Akeed Mofeed on debut for the Ciaron Maher yard. He's jumped out quite well and this should be a suitable trip for him. CLEO'S AWARD (1) was good in a strong maiden fresh and will be running on late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mcadam on top.
