The Escape, Justice Warrior and Northlander to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. Plenty of early pressure may well suit the more seasoned SUNDAY TYCOON (4). Has been going well without winning, is a course and distance winner already and is aided by the handy claim. Will park just off the hot pace and could be over the odds. NORTHLANDER (6) was heavily bet at Canberra on debut and got the job done. Drawn to box seat and expected to measure up. CUBAN CIGAR (10) is another debut winner and returns here after a strong win at Dubbo in a hot form race. Has good speed and take catching. VIVIAN'S EXPRESS (7) had just one start last time in and was a heavy track winner. Given time and worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sunday Tycoon could be value.
