Expecting Dillinger to lead Ioane at just a moderate tempo. The local DILLINGER (1) has been kept on the fresh side since his 70 win in town over 1800m. He flies at the track, and the 4kg claim offsets most of the weight increase. Races forward and the hat trick beckons. IOANE (4) switched from a Queensland barn and just missed at Geelong first up over this trip. He was plainer at Sale after, but will be better for that, and Meech will give him every chance from an inside barrier. ABSOLUTE SUNSHINE (5) is knocking on the door for a leading yard and maps to get every chance. He's also a threat. GOLD RELAY (8) next best, measured on his impressive Maiden win first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Dillinger.
