Strong pace from Tee Dog, El Rey Viene and Pied Piper. HUNGA TONGA (4) switches to synthetic for the first time. Scored last start with half a length to spare on turf over 1600m at Scottsville. Happy to stick with this in-form four-year-old. PIED PIPER (10) started at $4.50 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 3 lengths, at this track over 1600m. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best figures should see him run well. EL REY VIENE (7) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 2.5 lengths into seventh over 1600m at Scottsville. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HIGH QUEUE (5) finished sixth over 1800m at this track at his most recent appearance on April 3. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
