Small field but expecting a genuine tempo with plenty of pace engaged. Tricky race. KATSU (1) resumes. He gave away 8kg to the winner at his only run last time in, his first and only run for the Hayes yard. He's trialled well leading into this and his best form when with the Begg yard would win this, even with the huge impost here. SPARRING (3) ran on well for second on resumption here over 955m, beaten a long neck. He should prove hard to hold out. ALWAYS ENUFF (4) ran a very good race at 100-1 in Listed company last time out, beaten 1.2 lengths into fourth. Have to respect off that. PHILOSOPHER (2) struggles to win but is going quite well for this and draws for a soft run. TOOKAY PETE (5) is flying in easier company and has to be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Katsu to win.
