Genuine tempo from Sabertooth leading Stay Silent. The form of SABI STORM (6) last preparation reads very well for this, having last been seen running eighth in the Listed Super Impose at Flemington, beaten two lengths. He boasts a win over Zambardo earlier in the campaign who ended up running 2nd to Via Sistina in a G1 Champions Stakes in the Spring. 1400m fresh looks fine and he can prove too strong. SABERTOOTH (5) proved a tough winner on debut at Seymour, getting the job done by a nose after covering ground. He's open to plenty of improvement and can go on with it. THE NEGOTIATOR (4) won dominantly here last time out to break a run of outs. He did start $15 there but won convincingly and must be respected. LETHAL THOUGHTS (1) is finding it tough to win but keeps racing well, notching up another minor placing last time. He draws for every chance. RASP (9) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sabi Storm to win.
