Papal Wars to take charge ahead of Au Revoir at a good tempo. SHAPE OF WATER (6) was tried in front at Beaudesert 8 days ago when finishing runner-up by a head over 2450m. He won't lack fitness and will be hoping to secure a decent trip from his wide gate here. He has not missed a cheque in 2 starts here, including a win, and he should be among the hardest to beat. SOKUDO (8) is a durable veteran who plugged away for his midfield finish in the same race as the top pick last time out. He needs a genuine tempo to be at his best, and is capable of a top 3 finish here. AU REVOIR (5) has been building up her fitness over the shorter trips and should now be ready to put her best hoof forward here. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Au Revoir has Bailey Wheeler in the saddle and is ready to improve sharply.
