Expecting Magnachine to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. UNDER INFLUENCE (4) resumed on a good note when flying late behind a subsequent Saturday winner, beaten 0.3L. A better draw this time helps and Pike rides once again. Boasts a good second-up record and can go one better this time around. ATLANTIC SPIRIT (2) missed in a photo first-up before tackling Saturday grade last time out and missed by 1.5L. She held her own there and coming back to this level makes her a very attractive proposition. Drawn better this time and can end her winning drought. ALLENTOWN (5) resumes for the new stable and his recent trial suggests he's ready to go. McGruddy sticks from the trial and his form rates highly for a race of this calibre. Can make an impression. MASAMUNE (1) is better than he showed last start and can improve coming back in trip. GOLD VANCOUVER (6) is building nicely and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Under Influence can get the job done.
