Solid tempo expected primarily from Mister Ed and Oh So Onederful. THE BIG BANG (9) did a good job last start to finish third at this track over 1200m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will appreciate the longer journey now. PROTECTOR OF PEACE (1) finished 1.4 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at this track a month ago as $3.8 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Will prove tough to beat. WHATWILLBEWILLBE (3) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1800m at this track. Strong winning chance on best figures. CAESAR'S RANSOM (4) is a three-year-old gelding who is yet to fill a top-three spot in five starts. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing 10 lengths from the winner in tenth. Should run well.
