Genuine tempo with the speedy Kuia Ma leading the way. MOSCOW MULE (1) has been right there in both career starts to date including placing over this track and trip last time out. Looks to be working up to a maiden victory and must be respected out of the Dunn barn. Capable of taking this out. HAD IT ALL (4) has placed three from three around this circuit and gets some weight relief with the 1.5kg claim. Can play a major role in the outcome. KUIA MA (2) has finished runner-up at the past couple of efforts, draws favourably in gate two and gets 3kg off. Ticks a few boxes for a race like this. LOTTERY LINK (7) gets Rodd back on board from the inside alley and may earn some minor money. The well-related EDGE OF INFINITY (8) (half to G2 winner and 2xG1-placed Osipenko) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,4,2,7.
