Lots of speed predominantly from Emerald Court, Fugacity and Here's To Jane. SHANGHAI VENTURE (5) was a narrow fourth on top of the ground two back then was well off best on the heavy last time. This looks like a much firmer track and a good race to bounce back. Aided by the claim and best form stacks up. FUGACITY (3) wasn't far away fresh then was runner-up latest when narrowly missed after racing on speed. Ready to win and will take catching off the low draw. METEORITE (4) has very similar form, finishing fifth fresh but got the job done last time to score, albeit easier company. Is a third-up winner and looks one of the main chances. HEARTATTACK JACK (1) is much better than last start. Maiden winner the start prior and is worth another chance. EMERALD COURT (6) is a third-up winner and looks set to improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shanghai Venture can atone.
