Strong early tempo with Mintulee and Beast Mode leading the way. BEAST MODE (1) looks the one to beat if connections send him to SA. There has been plenty to like about both of his runs this campaign and third-up he should be ready to peak. He's earned the 62kg and he should get all the favours from a low draw. HAJRA (8) has the ability, but she can mix her form. If she brings her best, she will be chasing hard and looks a genuine threat. MINTULEE (7) is a speed machine and will give them something to chase. Her fresh run was OK, and if she can get back to her best form from last campaign, she can give plenty of cheek. KOVA (9) and LEFT TURN CLYDE (12) are also worth some thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Beast Mode to win.
