Genuine tempo with the speedy The Stock Route leading the way. TUDAYA (3) has returned in excellent order this prep and looks ready to peak after a pair of encouraging performances, including a solid last start third here 3 weeks ago. The rise in distance is ideal, he maps to enjoy a perfect run and gets his chance to return to the winner's stall. DARK HARMONY (1) brings solid recent form into this contest and has the ability to make his presence felt despite carrying the top weight. Each-way value. DON'TCALLMECHAMP (2) has been racing consistently in similar company prior to his last run when having excuses. He has a good draw and should be in the finish again with even luck. FROSTRATION (10) has shown steady improvement this campaign and got the job done in lesser company at Wodonga a fortnight ago. She is capable of producing another strong closing burst if the tempo is genuine. RUSCELLO (9) appeals as the value runner after a couple of sound efforts in recent outings, and he is capable of surprising at attractive odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tudaya can win this.
