Plenty of speed engaged with Rodriquez, Satin Diva and Auckland going forward ahead of Machinist and Expulsion. SATIN DIVA (8) will find this a fair bit easier than last start at Caulfield Heath in the Magic Millions 3&4yo Classic behind a very much in-form pair of horses. The fresh run in a strong BM64 won by Job Done reads very nicely for this and she rates to win. RODRIQUEZ (1) has won his past two, backing up the dominant 7-length heavy track win at Stony Creek with another huge victory at Sale, winning by 4.5 lengths. This will take more winning but he's hard to ignore. YOLO (4) resumed with a tidy win at Seymour over this trip and has clearly come back well. He has options from the good gate and can prove hard to hold out again. EXPULSION (10) resumes. She got over a bit further last time in but contested some good races and should be respected with Jamie Melham booked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Satin Diva to win.
