Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Tsunami Sam, Furneaux and In The Ocean. You wouldn't rule any out but IN THE OCEAN (3) will be hard to beat again. Easy winner this course and distance and grade last time and beat a few of these. Up 1.5kg but had too much on them last time and will go close again. ALVARINHO (2) is fitter for two runs back, the latest finished fourth over a little further. Has a strong record this course and distance including a G3 placing four back. Strong third-up record and can improve sharply. NICCO THE GREEK (6) has been freshened since racing well below best over further last time. Has started eight times this course and distance for two wins and six minors and gets a chance to atone. DAYTONA DIVA (4) was a winner fresh then placed last time over further. Unbeaten this course and distance and expected to run well. FURNEAUX (5) continues to race well and will give a sight with the light weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with In The Ocean.
