Just a moderate tempo headed by Acta Non Verba, Presser and Lodbrok. PRESSER (3) is going well without winning but looks to have found the right race in a BM78 that lacks a bit of depth. He stuck on gamely behind a smart winner at Caulfield last time out and only needs to hold that level to be going awfully close here. ACTA NON VERBA (7) is a handy type coming off a solid win at Seymour, getting the upper hand late with 60kg. He's always promised a bit and drops 8kg in the weights after Logan Bates' claim. He maps well again and should take beating. MR VIVACI (6) has been going okay without threatening and has each way claims. He's still lightly raced. SHOCKLETZ (4) is an interesting one. She won over 2500m at Flemington over the Winter and has good staying ability but the small field and barrier one in a dash home may not suit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Presser to win.
