Solid tempo with Here Comes Hogan using the rails draw with Briseis Eclipse not too far away. ECLAIR VITALITY (1) continues to leave himself with too much to do but possesses a strong turn of foot. If he can settle a fraction closer this time he will prove very tough to hold out. ALL SHOT (7) didn't fire last start but pulled up with excuses. Caught the eye the start prior when flashing home to only miss by a long neck at Gawler. The fact he's still in work suggests he's come through the run fine and can bounce back sharply. MEG'S MAGIC (9) has missed narrowly in her last two when more proactive in the early stages. The form around her stacks up strongly, though she will have to overcome a sticky draw this time. BRISEIS ECLIPSE (16) has good early speed and should find this a bit easier. Expect her to bounce somewhere near the lead and give backers a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eclair Vitality to win.
