Genuine tempo anticipated with good speed engaged. VILLADEN (2) will need a little luck from the gate but if getting it, will give a huge sight. All the form in these races is very sound and even the Eagle Farm effort in the Battle of The Bush Final was OK. The claim is a lovely addition. HOLIDAY DREAMS (5) has very similar form lines. He looks well weighted and should get a decent run in transit. HEAT (7) turned his form around with a win over this course and distance a month ago. Just has to back it up. UNDER THE CAP (1) some hope if back to his best form. MOISSANITE (10) won at this course and distance two back. Tougher here but holds some each way appeal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Villaden to win.
