Without frontrunners engaged Rustic Tzar gets the chance to lead.
SUJEED (4) has placed two from two over this track and trip and looks to be building up to another win. Gets 2kg weight relief with the claim and will be at peak fitness for this. Expect him to feature prominently. LONERGY (2) got the job done here last time out and is another to get some weight off. Can play a role despite the sticky draw. WILDSPITZE (5) will strip fitter second-up from the spell and gets the services of Berry in the stirrups. Top-three commodity. BETTER THAN WORDS (6) has a handy record here on her home surface with a win and three placings from ten spins. In the mix. The well-related LUXOR PRINCE (10) (half to 2xG3 winner and 2xG2 placed Egyptian Symbol) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Sujeed.
