Without a great deal of early pace evident Goldfields Grey may lead the way over Patanjali. HELL'S ON FIRE (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over a similar trip at Balaklava after leading them up to the corner. Peaking now and is the one to beat. VANINETTI (3) is going better than his form reads and building nicely. Nearing his top now and should be sharpened by the blinkers. KARMA QUEEN (8) failed to figure fresh when in the market but has since been sent back to trials where she's gone well. Draws the inside and keeps Milnes, worth following up. KAPPA (5) only warmed late on debut after settling a mile back. Watch for him launching late if the tempo is genuine. GOLDFIELDS GREY (1) has been okay in his two runs back without threatening. Expect Crowther to take him back from the wide draw and save him up for the final shot at them. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hell's On Fire to win.
