Moderate pace with Vee Rod rolling to the lead and setting the tempo. AITCH D'AMICO (3) is going better than his form reads. Finally draws a gate and reunites with Holder. Expect him to take closer order and be too strong for them when they sprint. SPANGLED SIPPER (6) made a strong late bid only to just miss last start over 1960m at Port Lincoln. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is a major player. EAGLELOU (5) can improve sharply on the quick back-up after failing to run on at Clare two days. The added trip suits. Watch for him late. RETOURNE (4) is better placed back to this level and reunites with Murtagh. Look for him blending in at the top of the straight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aitch D'Amico to win.
