Genuine tempo with Muschialli and Capo Strada up front. BLUE SPINEL (4) was out of the money but in city grade last time at Eagle Farm and does go well at this venue. Respect the reliable Gollan/Lang combination. Will find this easier than last start and should prove very hard to hold out. CLOUDLAND (1) scored at Eagle Farm last time out with a nose to spare over today's journey. Goes well over this trip with five wins and three minor placings and can measure up. HIDDEN MELODY (3) scored two starts ago here then struggled against stiffer opposition last time when fifth over 1200m at this circuit, beaten 3 lengths. Can figure in the finish back in this company. MUSCHIALLI (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish sixth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1000m at Eagle Farm. Sure to give backers a sight up on speed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Blue Spinel.
