Vieste should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. STORM PARK (4) is another winning chance for Sydney's Archibald stable. Brings a string of placings and was narrowly beaten here last time when backed deep into the red. Has the blinkers applied for the first time and can make amends. OWN THEM (3) brings strong relative numbers and will be better for his 1L defeat at Goulburn stepping up to a middle distance. Maps for a soft run and McDougall is a key jockey engagement replacing the apprentice. TOM CRUISING (2) missed a nose here this grade three back over a mile. He hasn't been far away in stronger grade since and will appreciate the longer journey. Draws inside and Ford is reunited. IT IS TO BE (5) deserved the 58 win at Dubbo and is a consistent galloper who can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Storm Park.
