Elusive Eagle should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. LIGHT OF BOOM (3) resumes here but has won when fresh before and gets a stack of weight off with the 4kg claim. Plenty of key scratchings in this contest and can return a winner. BIOGRAPHER (6) only narrowly went down at the latest effort and strips fitter third-up from the spell. Should be right there at the business end. PANTELONE (2) is another to get some weight off and may make his presence felt with luck in running. Top-three candidate. ISLAND MAGIC (9) will be better for that first-up effort and can earn a cheque with Cartwright on board. LJUNGBERG (10) next best from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Light Of Boom to salute first-up.
