Fast pace assured with Click Click Boom, Mister Tudor and Russian Pins leading the charge. CLICK CLICK BOOM (2) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-four in 12 of his past 13 outings and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Has a handy fresh record and has placed two of three around this circuit. Sure to be right there at the business end. EXCELOQUENT (8) is another first-up but showed enough when last in work to suggest she would be competitive in a race like this. Include in calculations. GOODES (3) got a well-deserved victory over this sprint journey last time out and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Can go back-to-back without surprising. THE LUCKY ALIEN (1) is a three-time winner here who draws the inside marble and gets 3kg off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Click Click Boom.
