Without a great deal of early pace evident Kaida Odori may lead the way over Bate. CAUTIONARY TAIL (11) has gotten better with each run this time in work and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Melbourne Cup-winning hoop Dolan sticks in the irons and should be right there when the whips are cracking. I AM LOUIE (2) resumes here but the form he showed in his first preparation was good enough for a race of this calibre. Tuned up for this with two recent trials and can run a race while fresh. PROPHET OF DESTINY (5) put in a career-best performance when runner-up at Eagle Farm last time out and may have turned the corner now. Include in calculations. KAIDA ODORI (6) has placed two from two over this distance range and is capable of playing a role in the outcome. ESSESSBEE (1) is next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 11,2,5,6.
