Good tempo with several going forward, primarily Anuschka's World, Cruise Control and Johnny Appleseed. Looks a race in three. FAIRY KNIGHT (1) won three on end, then stakes placed two back before winding up late last time. Has a sound record here with seven wins and seven minor placings from 16 starts. Hard to beat. CRUISE CONTROL (2) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish second last start over 1200m at Fairview All Weather, beaten a nose as favourite. Continues to race well. Capable of a strong showing. ANUSCHKA'S WORLD (3) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1200m at this track on March 20. Stakes winner before a spell and has a great record this course and distance. Take catching fresh. CLIFF TOP (4) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Fairview All Weather, beaten 10 lengths into eighth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
