Strong early tempo with Sparkels Dior and The Pen Is Mighty leading the way. CHRONIC (2) came off three runs on the synthetic and spiked his figures when beaten 3.6L in an Open 3 at Flemington. That's good form, and he just has to hold it to prove hard to beat. Draws low and the extra metres suit. THE PEN IS MIGHTY (7) resumes, and the former Kiwi creates interest. He's been gelded and has jumped out well. Draws for a soft run and he's shown enough to consider. MANHATTAN EMPIRE (6) resumed off a long break at Cranbourne and wasn't beaten far over 1400m. He was well supported and maps well. Stripping fitter he can improve into the frame. LOTS TO LOVE (5) resumes for a leading yard and has jumped out well at Flemington. Keep very safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chronic on top.
