Plenty of pace with Alpha Flight and Mougenot up front, pressured by Mohite and Miss Diamantina. Solid race with a few winning chances. It's hard to knock the form of ALPHA FLIGHT (4), who hasn't done much wrong in easier grade. He is capable of measuring up to this open contest where his chance is seen as being as strong as any. MOHITE (1) bolted in at this track last time and, with the claim, can bowl along up on speed and be hard to catch again. Danger along with THE HASS (3) who is handy on his day so be wary of him first-up, while IMPORTANT PRODUCT (6) looks ready to win after a big finish last time. Only concern is how much of a start he concedes some of these but he should be rattling at the death. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta with 1, 3, 4 and 6.
