Fancy Shoulder should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. SIR RANDOLPH (6) was a commanding winner at Oakbank over this trip and looks poised to repeat the dose. Drawn sticky but will be hitting his straps third-up and loses little in the saddle with Murtagh taking over. Leading player. THERMODYNAMIC (4) showed early dash when resuming and stuck on fairly into the placings. Fitter now and maps to be right in the thick of it again. Genuine threat. ALCOSHARE (2) has progressed nicely this campaign and is cherry-ripe fitness wise. The form out of his dominant win two back at Warrnambool is red-hot. Expect him to be in this for a very long way. MAGNETIC PRINCE (1) was only fair fresh in testing conditions and should take good benefit from that run. Fitter now and capable of sharp improvement. CAPTAIN JOOLIAN (3) doesn't win out of turn but boasts peaks that measure up. Worth some thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sir Randolph gets the nod.
