A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. STANDLEE (6) stepped out to a mile for the first time here nearly 3 weeks ago and finished a game third when searching for a hat-trick of wins. He gets a big swing in his draw this time, and with 4kg less to carry, he can bounce straight back into the winner's circle. GLENRAY'S MATE (8) is a lightly tried 8-year-old gelding who is not short of ability when his mind is on the job. He gained a hard-fought win at Ipswich a month ago, and a similar run will take him close to winning this as well. BOLD TYRANT (10) had a rocky run off a wide gate here last time out, and should secure the right sort of trip from a superior gate this time. He is down in weight after a 3kg claim, and can figure in the top 3 this time. LUCONI (3) can mix his form, but is not the worst here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Standlee will be hard to beat.
