Reasonable tempo with Lindrum probably leading. SPRING BEAN (4) is a former Victorian and he returned in solid order on the Devonport synthetic before belting a CL1 field there by 3.5L over 1880m. Was heavily bet and is just as good on the turf. Gives every indication the longer trip will suit him. PINANDI (8) improved again narrowly beaten here over a mile. She has a 1L defeat at Hobart this distance in the CV and the inside gate is there to use. Byrne Burke stays aboard. AQUAFAN (5) is still a Maiden but was good here last time behind The Prayer and Pires will use the inside barrier. LINDRUM (2) has a 2kg claim and will race forward. Comes back to the turf and may show more. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Spring Bean.
