Genuine tempo from Distinguished leading Rock Hudson. SUPER STAR DRAGON (3) was fourth as favourite here last time out and has been holding his form strongly over this trip. He can put himself on the pace early and is overdue to break through. SHAVASANA (6) was third here over this trip 10 weeks ago, and is likely to secure a cosy run early from a handy draw. If the gaps come at the right time, she can have the last say. ROCK HUDSON (10) raced greenly on debut at Trentham and was put aside to mature. His lead-up trial form prior was sound, and he can figure in the top 3 here. Let the market be your best guide. DISTINGUISHED (1) has been freshened up since finishing third at Ellerslie in May. He is making his poly track debut and has solid each-way claims. MIVIRGO (4) has not had much luck recently and is worth including in all combinations at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rock Hudson to show something fresh up. Watch the markets.
