Expecting Top Secret to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. ALVIN (1) is knocking on the door, placing in his past four outings. The run two back at Pakenham behind a smart one was good, going even closer at Seymour last time when beaten a length. Gets every chance on the map and can go one better. IMPISH LADY (10) resumes. She mixed her form last time in but has jumped out nicely leading into her second campaign and Blake Shinn booked is a strong lead. STORM CAPITAL (5) is a lightly raced type who ran well first up without threatening at Pakenham. Fitter for that and should be hard to hold out. TOP SECRET (6) resumes. The debut effort last time in at Newcastle was good and he'll likely find the front here for the Waterhouse & Bott yard. Takes catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alvin on top.
