Lots of speed predominantly from Front Page, Red Hot Nicc and The Astrologist. REY MAGNERIO (4) has been excellent without winning at his past couple, flashing late to be beaten the barest of margins by Estriella & Maharba, the latest here on Derby Day. He still rates very highly and can repay the faith. NADAL (9) won very well in fast time last start at Caulfield over 1100m. He looks capable of going through the grades and he's right up to winning at this level already. FRONT PAGE (1) led at a fast tempo in The Kosciuszko and was just no match late. His second-up record is some query but he's a talented sprinter who will be hard to catch on his preferred dry ground. MOBY DICK (14) beat Nadal here fresh and has been around the mark since. BARBER (6) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rey Magnerio on top.
