Pace strong with Star Of Jamaica and Plagiarism leading with Warwoven nearby. CENTRAL EUROPE (5) drifted back on debut and struck trouble in the straight before angling out late with a slashing nose second in the G2 Skyline Stakes over 1200m at Randwick. Would have taken great benefit from that outing and expect J Mac to turn the tables here. WARWOVEN (2) was eight weeks between runs when he knocked up late to run fourth in a tight finish over 1200m in the G2 Skyline. Doesn't get the same map favours for this but expected to go forward with cover. Hard in the market for the Golden Slipper and this should top him off nicely. PLAGIARISM (3) set to peak third-up after he loomed strongly with a gallant fifth over 1200m in the G2 Skyline Stakes. Likely leader who can finish even closer here. FOREST KING (6) tagged the good speed on debut with a soft Maiden win over 1100m at Canterbury. Gets a similar set up again and represents good each way value. STAR OF JAMAICA (1) tough Queensland gelding who showed enough when third in the Skyline to warrant consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Central Europe can finish over the top of them.
