A strong tempo is assured with The Great Hoya and Military Power leading the charge. CLEANEMUP (2) was within range in strong races last preparation and looked a run short resuming at Scarpside in better than this. She's proven second-up and has been freshened. Chris Parnham replaces Pike and the longer sprint shouldn't bother. The one to beat. MILITARY POWER (1) is third up and building well. Has a handy 3kg claim, and he also has his first try over 1200m. Has an awkward barrier but can fight out the finish with average luck. MIA GUSTO (4) has more to give second-up and the Durrant yard is in super form. Suited over this trip and longer and Fiore is reunited. VILLAGE GIRL (9) came back to a short sprint and found a place here on the turf. She's versatile and Faithfull stays aboard. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Cleanemup.
