Solid tempo headed by Parera and War No More. CAVALRY (3) resumes. Two runs last time in read very well for this, beaten under a length by subsequent listed winner Azazel at Seymour before a spell, sent out $1.60 there. He rates very highly. ASK YOUR MOTHER (2) ran a good race first up at Sale over 1206m, sitting near the pace and boxing on well for third. He'll be fitter for that and gets every hope from the inside gate, go close. TITAN'S SPIRIT (8) is knocking on the door, placing in his past two, beaten a nose at Kyneton last time out. Tricky draw but he'll be figuring with some early luck. PARERA (5) resumes. He mixed his form a bit last time in but showed glimpses and looks to have jumped out fairly well. Respecting. SACRE BLEU (7) ran midfield first up when making late ground and will be fitter with each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cavalry to win.
