A strong tempo is assured with Xarpo and Wise Inlaw leading the charge. Good race and XARPO (2) is well fancied to make it 2/2 this campaign, winning very well first up at Caulfield Heath over 1200m, sent out favourite and coming right away for a 1.5 length victory. She'll only be better suited to 1400m now and should take plenty of holding out again. Very wary of TEST OF LOVE (1) who has won both this time in for the Hayes yard, formerly in Hong Kong. He was dominant here last time and will likely settle in front of Xarpo which is key. EVERAIN (3) is a nice type who won well fresh, good to the line as favourite second up. Back to 1400m here can suit. WISE INLAW (7) ran a solid race fresh in G3 company and looks better placed here having placed behind Vinrock & West Of Swindon over 1400m last time in. EM SIXTY (5) resumes having progressed very well last time in. Respecting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Xarpo/Test Of Love quinella.
