Solid tempo anticipated with Thermodynamic taking charge. TANNENBURG (3) has been leaving himself with too much to do but heating up late and the month between runs keeps him sharp. The extra ground suits and the form around him is red-hot. Toeroek sticking is a big tick and he’s ready to make his presence felt. SOMEWHERE SOON (8) couldn’t match the winner but was closing hard and was unlucky not to grab a minor cheque. She’ll likely get a long way back again from the draw but Holder can manage that. Live hope. CLASSY CLARET (5) has been rock-solid for the Gluyas camp over these staying trips and should push forward from the draw to be right in the fight. JOVIALE (10) pulled away for an impressive mile win at Strathalbyn and while this is tougher he’s progressive and looks ready for the rise in trip. THERMODYNAMIC (9) is knocking on the door and is worth keeping safe in the placings on the quick back-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tannenburg each-way.
