Plenty of pace on show, headed by Ready To Charge, We Are The Logans and Chasing Happiness. WHISTLE THE TUNE (8) finished a close-up fifth of 15 in a strong race last start. She gets the cheekpieces fitted for the first time and can return to winning form. CHASING HAPPINESS (1) finished a close-up fourth of 15 last time out. She has won twice, finished second once and third once from seven starts on this course. She is in a good space and merits healthy respect. QUANTUM THEORY (7) has finished second in his last three starts. Serino Moodley may be able to get the best out of him when it matters most. DREAMLAND (6) was unplaced two runs back then finished fourth of 10 last start over 1160m at this track. Course and distance winner who has each-way claims.
