Lots of speed predominantly from Alpha Flight and O'whatapicture. ALPHA FLIGHT (1) has shown great tactical speed in his two runs back, only to be captured late. Peaking now and is sure to prove very tough to reel in. MAY'S WEST (7) put the writing on the wall last start when beaten narrowly over the track and trip. Rock-hard fit now and gets in low at the weights again with the 4kg claimer sticking. Big chance. SHIKANIC (3) doesn't win out of turn but hasn't done much wrong of late. Strikes an easier assignment after only being beaten 2.2L in town last start. Just needs some luck from the wide alley. O'WHATAPICTURE (5) is yet to strike through this campaign but hasn't been far away. Peaking now and gets his chance to break a long run of outs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going Alpha Flight to win.
