Solid tempo with Born To Be Alive leading from Easy Love and Vermeer. EASY LOVE (1) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top five in all 11 starts to date and this is not an overly strong affair. Has a win and a placing from two attempts over this distance range and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. SAN JOSE BOY (2) got the job done over this track and trip last time out and will have derived a bunch of confidence from that victory. Can go back-to-back without surprising. FORTY TIMES (7) has placed three of four around this circuit and draws favourably in gate one. Watch for sharp improvement. NOTABADJACKUP (4) saluted here at the latest effort and winning rider Peisley sticks in the irons. In the mix. ALDEENAARY (6) best of the rest with the 2kg claim from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Easy Love.
