Solid tempo with Amberite leading from Catani Gardens and Morning Sun. Like the set up for FEDERER (14) who has been campaigning in Sydney this time in. He's been getting closer with each run off a long break, beaten a long neck at Randwick last time out. He's bred to stay being out of Caulfield Cup winner Jameka and gets to 2000m for the first time with Shinn booked from a low draw. AZTEC STATE (1) had things against at Caulfield second up when too far back from a wide draw. The first up win was outstanding but he likely gives Federer a decent head start with an inexperienced apprentice on. CATANI GARDENS (12) has won two of three this time in and should take up a prominent role from the inside gate. PARADISE STORM (9) is coming along well and ready to peak now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Federer to win.
