Not much early pressure but Rivoli View, Mandino and Chartin can take up forward spots. Not the deepest staying race on paper. BELLAVARDO (5) looks well placed back to this grade after tackling some stronger metropolitan races of late. She's at peak fitness now and has great stats at the track and distance. She will get the right run under Milnes and can win. MANDINO (1) is better than his recent form suggests. He will roll forward and give a bit of a sight with the claim. The last 100m will be interesting. COURS VITE (2) is another that should be rock-hard fit for recent racing. Ben Price should get all the favours from a low draw and he can run top three. RIVOLI VIEW (3) can run well, while GREATESTOFEASE (6) was good without all the luck on Sunday and is worth some thought on the very quick back-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Bellavardo and Greatestofease each-way.
