Pace genuine with Solar Chant and Prasutagus pressing hard closely followed by Riseanfall and Alebrije. SOLAR CHANT (6) won fist-up and has barely put a foot wrong since, missing by 1.3L last start when leading over this track and trip. A better draw this time is a big tick with Brad Parnham hopping on board now. Can go one better this time around. BUSY FINGERS (1) got the job done first-up when an odds-on favourite, sitting handy and winning quite comfortably in the end. A wide draw to contend with this time, but he has raced well when sitting off the speed previously. Fiore rides today and with improvement up his sleeve, he can get the job done again. WRITTEN WORDS (5) was disappointing fresh over this track and trip but gets the blinkers back on today. Should be better for that effort and improvement is on the cards. PRASUTAGUS (4) trialled well coming into this and can't be discounted. RISEANFALL (2) is another who showed something at the trials coming into this and can't be left out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Solar Chant looks the one to beat.
