Expecting Agnete to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. Competitive. RIGOLETTO (5) comes back in grade off the 0.5L defeat over 1400m. Has an awkward gate but gets in well with the 3kg claim, and the step up to the mile shouldn't bother. ASHFALL (1) bounced straight back when winning a 68 over this trip, and then was expected to win over a middle distance in a 70 and was beaten a whisker. Comes back 500m but is well placed with the 3kg claim and he's good enough to cope. HURRICANE KETUT (4) has won his last three over this distance. This is harder, but he maps well and can't be ruled out. AGNETE (6) races forward and is also going well enough to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Rigoletto each way.
