Good pace from Major Mario, Urquharts Bluff and Mt Shirataku going forward. MT SHIRATAKU (4) was on the quick turnaround here, missing by 0.6L last start after a 0.8L defeat the start prior. A better draw this time is a big tick and Fiore remains on board. He's racing in good order and with more in his favour here, he can land the knockout blow. LILLIAN (2) got well back first-up over 1200m but the splits she ran late suggested she was back as good as ever. Now Pike hops on board and she steps straight up to the mile. Needs some luck from the draw but can return to winning ways here without surprising. SUPERNATURAL (7) disappointed last start when on the quick turnaround, settling back and never getting into the race. She was in good touch prior and now gets out to the mile for the first time. That looks to suit and she can make her presence felt. ALL GRUNT (6) was solid on resumption and can improve with that run under his belt. GINGER GREEN (10) is building nicely and won't be far away from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Mt Shirataku.
