Solid tempo anticipated with A Touch From Fayt and Shako leading the way. The well-related SHAKO (1) (half to G2 winner Arcaded) loves this course and distance with two wins and three seconds from five attempts and is yet to miss the top-four in 12 career outings. Doesn't know how to run a bad race and should be featuring prominently again. ENCUBIERTO (5) is yet to miss a quinella spot in four spins here around his home circuit and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Should be right there at the business end. THE SUN DANCE (7) is a two-time winner over this track and trip and gets the services of Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Dolan in the irons. In the mix. TORQUE I TEE (4) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Shako.
