Tactical given the lack of speed. Ripped by scratchings. AFFLUENTIAL (2) is accomplished on the flat and over hurdles and won this race 12 months ago. Just missed heavily bet at Moonee Valley over 3000m and then placed as favourite in a Sandown-Lakeside hurdle. Tough to beat with 2x winning rider McNeil reunited. HIGHLAND BLAZE (3) has been hurdling and beat the above home last time. Just missed over 3000m in town at his last flat outing and should go close. The Payne-trained SPLIT (6) will be fancied. Led and blitzed the 64 graders at this track/trip 12 days and he tumbles in weight. Coffey goes on and he's sure to take catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Affluential.
