Expecting Castle Road to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. SHMOOV MOOVA (3) looks back on song judging by his latest trial where he bolted in. He's a fresh winner in the past and he's unbeaten over this course and distance. Still has some upside and he looks ready to go to the next level this time in work. BLACK ORA (1) jumped favourite in the Marjorie Charleson last start but may not have run out the extra trip. Back to her preferred track and trip now and she looks to get plenty of favours. Can get back to winning ways now without surprising. SOUND OF SPEED (8) was trending the right way before never featuring in the Magic Millions 3YO before a short break. Should find a handy position from the good barrier and if he can be at his best off a freshen, he'll be hard to hold out. CASTLE ROAD (5) can sit handy with a good barrier and can be in this for a long way. CHARINO (2) can feature first-up despite not having a trial. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shmoov Moova looks the one to beat first-up.
