A strong tempo is assured with the first starters applying pressure to the recognised on-pacers Zypher King and Seventh Fleet. FRERE JACQUES (4) took time to find his feet on debut,but stayed on to finish second. He returns from a spell during which time he would have strengthened up. He should love the extra distance on offer. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride, and if not in need of the run, he can go close. SAFE TRAVEL (8) has finished third in both his efforts to date. He stayed on at the finish over 1000m on the Standside course last time. He will love the rise to 1450m and should be right there at the finish. JOHNNY DRAMA (2) had excuses over 1400m on the Standside course last time. He will be at peak fitness and has winning claims. SEVENTH FLEET (1) returns from a spell. His last start over 1400m on the Standside course was fair. In this type of field, he can finish in the placings.
