Moderate tempo with Racey Casey leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. RICH KING (5) looks the one to beat. Raced on speed to pace on debut at Cranbourne then finished a close-up fifth at Pakenham last time. Will find this easier and expected to go close. RACEY CASEY (14) gave a sight at Sandown two back trying to do it from the front then last start settled off speed but came home well for a close-up fourth. Overdue for a win and looks a leading player. BUTTERCUP (11) is another overdue. Has placed at last four runs, all over the sharper dash such as the five furlongs last time. Will be able to sit close over the extra ground this time and can give a sight. LUNAZOR (3) is a two-start maiden who was solid in debut when fourth then stepped straight up in ground and ran midfield before a good break. Has the tongue tie and blinkers added for this and can run well fresh. DON'T SAY NO MIKKI (1) is another closing in on a win and will be hard to hold out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rich King gets chance.
