Plenty of pace established by Fancify, Dubai Focus and Chicago Storm, with Press Down close at hand. Small field but a quality race. FANCIFY (1) won this race last year before heading to Melbourne to win a G3 during Cup Week. If her last start placing in the Wylie Handicap is a guide, she's going even better this year and looks the one to beat. She will go forward and take catching. PRESS DOWN (2) is a proven Stakes winner that will be fitter for his first-up run. He gets weight off the favourite with the 2kg claim and is an obvious top three chance. MY KHALIFA (5) ran an improved race finishing midfield last start at Morphettville at very long odds. Wort thought for wider plays. COTEHELE (6) can improve on the first-up run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Fancify to win.
