Keen tempo with Kerman Rock and Lord Gannicus prominent. Tricky race. COOL MEMORY (2) was pipped at the post last start over 1400m here and now steps up to the mile. He should have the speed to get across from the sticky gate and the wet track won't be an issue. Has gone to another level this campaign and can continue that run of form. SUNNY HONEY (3) got to Cool Memory last start and won narrowly, continuing his strong run of form. He meets Cool Memory better at the weights today following the ZJP claim and draws inside. The mile is a query, but he should get every chance to run it out. ARCADIA KNIGHT (6) is better than he's shown his past couple when getting well out of his ground and being unable to peg the margin back. Now gets the blinkers back on from a good draw and a return to his best form would see him hard to hold out. LORD GANNICUS (1) can set the tempo from a good gate and back to this grade suits. Will be hard to run down. FAMOUS DAIN (4) has to be included on his recent form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cool Memory on top in a competitive race.
