|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pace with Precision Goal, Lucky Banner and Gallant Crown all pushing forward from their low draws. CHILL KAKA (1) was far too good over this course and distance 25 days ago, winning by 3.8L in very impressive fashion as favourite. Purton now takes the ride and he has proven to be a adaptable customer in recent outings. Can repeat the dose. PRECISION GOAL (2) is a speedy type and should be prominent from the outside after a 2.3L defeat after leading them up as favourite. The blinker with one cowl goes on first time today and he'll have the tactical advantage over his rivals. Will be very hard to run down. RUN RUN TIMING (8) is another who can be prominent in the run, beaten 3.8L behind Chill Kaka most recently. The inside barrier is a big tick for him though and he meets Chill Kaka better at the weights. Can play a major role. FASHION LEGEND (3) has strong claims on the back of an impressive win at his first try over this course and distance.
