Genuine pace headed by Highland Bling from his wide alley. NO FUSS (1) clearly on top. He's a progressive type who has won both starts this time in, charging home from the back of the field fresh before settling closer last time and winning dominantly. Up to 1800m suits ideally, he draws well and should just have a bit too much class for these. GARNACHO (16) steps up in trip off a good effort last time in the Bendigo Guineas over 1400m. He should be suited to this level and distance now. FREIGHT TRAIN (3) was a bit disappointing last start at Bendigo when heavily supported, finishing sixth. He's always promised a bit and up to 1800m should suit now. DETROIT CITY (6) is coming off a smart win at Cranbourne and is in the mix while CAVALRY MAN (5) can run well if he's been kept up to the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: No Fuss to win.
