Solid tempo set by Altrove and Grey Lad. EXTRAVAGANT CHOICE (2) finished fourth over 1400m at Hawkesbury two-and-a-half weeks ago. Stepping up in distance this time and dropping in grade, he looks like a strong each-way chance in this field. TOO BIG (11) capped off some good form with an impressive win over 1800m at Wagga Riverside three weeks ago, scoring by over 2 lengths. His form stacks up well, and he should be right in the finish again. MACY MOON (8) strips fitter second up and is worth including in all combinations. GREY LAD (10) is in a purple patch of form and will benefit from a 4kg claim. There is more depth to this field, but he can still figure in the top 4. SUGGESTED PLAY: Extravagant Choice will be hard to beat.
