Expecting a strong pace headed by Capsaicin, Etiquette and The Shepherd. THE SHEPHERD (7) is fitter for three runs in, the latest a close-up fourth over 1400m here on the turf. Trip suits now and ready to win. Gets chance. DAWN TILL DUSK (2) was game in defeat last time over the mile when beaten just over a length and was a winner the start prior. Drawn to feature again. MOCHA BLEND (6) returns from a break and generally runs well when fresh, placing 2/3 tries. Goes well here and forward showing expected. TIRPITZ (3) wound up strongly over a mile at Scottsville last time out, finishing 0.7 lengths away in third. Should be involved in the finish again.
