In a small field either Shahin or Figo The Great will find the front. SAVATOFF (4) finds it tough to notch up his second win but will appreciate the drop in grade after a midfield finish last start in town. Rates highly on best efforts and has run well over this trip. Leading player. SALSBURY HILL (2) will also appreciate the easier assignment. Was a barnstorming winner two back at Camperdown in a hot form race. Can easily atone. DOCTOR ROBERT (5) scored with a bit up his sleeve last start at Lock. This is tougher but he deserves respect. COWLEY'S CREEK (6) is yet to strike through this campaign but should be nearing a peak fourth-up and has best figures that measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Savatoff.
