Nicconori to go to the lead at a genuine tempo.
DETERMINATION (5) hails from a handy family (half to G1 winner Bella Vella) and has been racing very consistently this campaign. Has a win and six placings from nine spins around this circuit and should be right there at the business end. LIMERO (1) is two from two over this track and trip and gets a bunch of weight relief with the 3kg claim. Looms as the main danger. ELECTRIC BRAE (6) is a three-time winner at this venue and will be at peak fitness for this. Include in calculations. SUJEED (8) hasn't been too far off them at the past couple and can trouble the judge with any luck in running. OUR HEART THROB (9) got a well-deserved win here at the latest effort and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. In the mix on the latest outing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,1,6,8.
