Strong tempo with Corbusier and Snitzaroo leading the way over Bloomin' Ripper.
CORBUSIER (4) resumes here but the form he showed in his first preparation was impeccable not missing a drum in seven career efforts. Has won two from three over this course and distance and a strong return to racing would not surprise. MEMPHIS SHADOW (2) will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the spell and Wiggins stays on board. Should get a nice sit from the favourable draw and rates a serious contender. SNITZAROO (3) has won three of his past four starts and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. In the mix. BLOOMIN' RIPPER (6) is a three-time winner over this sprint trip and draws perfectly in gate one. Up to the challenge. SAVEE (8) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Corbusier to come back in winning order.
