Sans Egal, Sources Link and Vendemmia to take up the running at a strong tempo. VENDEMMIA (4) has caught the eye in both runs back, flashing late from the back at Casino last start when fourth. Looks set to launch another strong finish here. SOURCES LINK (3) continues to knock on the door and, despite failing to deliver as favourite last start, finds the right race to give this a shake. SANS EGAL (9) drops back in trip after fading over further and should be more competitive this time. SASKATOON BERRY (10) hasn’t been far away and gets another chance to break through in this weaker contest. WASHIK (11) lacks consistency but in a race of little depth is a genuine place hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vendemmia to win.
