French Gift to take up the running at a moderate tempo. CAELIUS (7) was nudged out at Sale first-up over 1400m and then was heavily bet this track/trop beaten 1.3L. He's settled last, and there was a stack of merit in the effort. Has a low gate today and can kept on the fresh side, should be making amends. LEVERAGED BUYOUT (12) has needed his two runs this preparation and will be a lot sharper stepping up to the mile. Was tried at Stakes grade at Eagle Farm and the back of the previous campaign, and has plenty up his sleeve. FRENCH GIFT (8) was expected to win first-up but found The Mean Fiddler much too good. A dryer track should suit him better, and expect quick improvement from the Hayes-trained galloper. MOONBOLT (5) peaks and should enjoy the longer distance. Maps well today and is likely to feature. NEWCOMBE (6) wasn't far away in town before going close at Stony Creek on a heavy surface. He's worth a look at double-figure odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Caelius.
