Genuine tempo with Fleetwood leading the way. BEAT OF THE SUN (3) battled away last time out, and though finishing out of the placings, his effort was not too bad. He cops a wide gate here but is still worth another chance at each-way value. COMPULSION (4) has been racing his way into full fitness, and his last 2 starts on heavy ground have been full of merit. He steps up to 1600m and can figure in the top 3 this time. DEPARTURE (7) has been a touch weak late in each of his 2 starts to date and has been given plenty of time to get over his last run at Te Rapa nearly 7 weeks ago. He carries 2kg less this time and is worth including in all top 4 combos. ALL THAT I AM (2) stuck on bravely for fourth at Pukekohe on debut, and he will naturally improve with the experience. This field is not strong, so stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Compulsion each-way.
