Stay Focused should lead at a slick tempo. SHIRVINGTON (12) Springtime winner last September, ready for the 1200m. Slow into stride from a poor draw and unsuited in a fast run contest with a dismal ninth over 1000m at Warwick Farm. Expected to bounce back quickly with the 55.5kg over his pet trip. ESTREMO (11) Group 3 winner in the Spring resuming. Primed for this with the two trials and look for him launching out wide. Each-way. OUR QUEEN (14) caught the eye second-up with an encouraging fourth over 1400m at Rosehill in this class. Can race closer from the awkward gate and take a hand in the finish. BANDI'S BOY (8) frustrating gelding who drops in weight from a decent gate. Worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Shirvington.
