Just an even tempo anticipated. SMOKIN MATCH (5) has been racing consistently at this track in his recent outings without winning but gets a great chance to break through here. Circled the field out wide approaching the turn before finishing fourth to Missayter over this course and distance last start and from a better draw in this he looks hard to beat. EASTOWN (6) should find this more suitable than his recent starts in town and he has the ability to give this a shake. From a soft draw, WINDY WHEELS (8) is also one to consider as one of the major players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Smokin Match to win.
