Only a small field with Heat likely to find a comfortable lead. The well-related LIMERO (5) (half to 2xListed winner and G2 placed Ef Troop) is a very consistent conveyance who has hit the top-five in ten of his past 11 starts and rarely puts in a poor one. Is one from one around this circuit and should find this easier than recent metropolitan efforts. Rates the testing material. MEAN APPROACH (3) was a touch plain last time out but the three runs to start the campaign were good enough to feature in a race like this. Can bounce right back. ADALIE (6) has two wins and two placings from five efforts over this distance range and looks a must for the exotics players. Former Victorian CAPO STRADA (1) is having his first run for the new stable and any market confidence must be noted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Limero to return to the winners' stall.
