A solid tempo is on the cards with Fuzzybox and Twelveunder pushing for the lead ahead of Weapons Hot and Clever Combat. DE GRANDHOMME (1) hit the line with purpose fresh at Belmont and that run will have topped him off beautifully. Steps up in trip which looks ideal and he maps to get every chance in a race lacking depth. STRYKER’S GAL (3) resumes and is more than capable on her day. Has shown glimpses of ability and the booking of Turner catches the eye. Can run a bold race fresh. PLAYFUL STAR (9) hasn’t been landing blows recently but gets in light and draws to stalk the speed. Could surprise. WEAPONS HOT (4) led them a merry dance at Moora and although this is tougher he deserves another shot. CLEVER COMBAT (7) ran well first-up and should only improve with the outing. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: De Grandhomme to win.
