Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 1100m journey.
MR MARRAKECH (2) is a former NSW-trained performer who is making his local debut from the leading Gary Clarke stable. He normally needs a run but will be a lot stronger this year, and meets the right sort of field. He has the draw to make an immediate impact fresh up. MIAMI VICE (1) has been holding his form nicely this year and was runner-up for the second time in a row here nearly a fortnight ago. A handy draw will suit him as will the extra 100m on offer. Hard to beat. JUST FOR MARCUS (3) was half a length from the winner when finishing fourth at Alice Springs nearly 3 weeks ago. He has won his first race on this track before those recent runs, and can have a say in the finish this time. Stick with him. TUGELA FALLS (8) has yet to fire in 2 starts on this track since making the move from a Victorian stable. He drops 2.5kg in weight and is worth another chance. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Marrakech to win.
