Genuine tempo with the speedy Divine Bene leading the way. PHYSICAL GRAFFITI (1) was too strong from up on the pace last time out, being 0.2L off the winner. Todd remains in the saddle as he drops back to 1100m today, but he should be prominent from the good draw. Fresh is best seems the right way with him and he can score back-to-back wins. MIAMI VICE (2) was 1.8L off the winner last time out over this track and trip and will find this an easier race today. Davis remains in the irons having guided this gelding to victory just four starts back, with his record over this track and trip very impressive. Can go one better today without surprising. VIACONI (5) is better than he showed last time out but gets the blinkers on this time around, as well as the tongue tie. Wouldn't surprise to see him improve sharply third-up into the campaign. BRAT (4) will be fitter for the fresh run and the claim comes in handy. DIVINE BENE (3) rounds it out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Physical Graffiti can get the job done again.
