Genuine tempo with Tin Pan Alley to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Another great race but hard to go past the well performed TIN PAN ALLEY (1) who was Grade 1 placed before a break. Returned in the Grade 2 Spring Challenge and was too good, beating some of these in the process. Big rise in weight but classy type fitter again and top rider aboard. Go close. MIAMI MOUNTAIN (8) is a promising colt who was runner-up on debut then unbeaten in two runs since. Looks suited by the extra ground and expected to measure up. ZALATORIS (2) resumed with a third behind Miami Mountain and does meets him slightly worse at the weights but fitter again and drawn for a good run with cover. NYAKA NYAKA (6) was no match for Tin Pan Alley latest but meets him better at the weights and won only try courser and distance.
