Genuine tempo anticipated with good speed engaged.
SAILOR'S SECRET (3) loves it here around this circuit with four wins and a second from just five spins and will be full of confidence following back-to-back victories. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Ticks plenty of boxes for a race like this. YET HE MOVES (1) resumes here but has only missed a drum once in five first-up attempts and is more than capable enough on his day. Can run a big race while fresh. The well-related YOSHINO (8) (full to 2xG3 winner and G2 placed Ranier) is one from one over this track and trip and will be ready to peak now fourth run back from the break. In the mix. GALANO (6) has a win and a second from three starts over this distance range and must be respected out of the Dunn camp. Sure to make his presence felt. CRANKY HARRY (4) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sailor's Secret to bring up the hat-trick.
