Pace genuine with Leica Storm and Cobra Club pressing hard closely followed by Stallone and Cryptonic. COBRA CLUB (7) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-four in all five runs this preparation and rarely puts in a poor one. Has a win and a second from four attempts over this mile journey and should give backers a sight up on speed. Right in this contest. CUBAN CIGAR (2) hasn't been too far away in Saturday metro grade of late and should find this affair a bit easier. Gets 3kg off with the claim and ready to peak now fourth-up from the spell. No reason why he cannot take this out. BOTANICAL BOY (3) has been just behind the placegetters in all three outings this campaign and will appreciate the step-up to the mile now. Well placed on best figures. The well-related LEICA STORM (9) (full to G2 winner and G1 placed Snitty Kitty) gets Lloyd on top from a low draw and shouldn't be discounted lightly. CLANCY (6) rounds out the selections in a race with a few chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,2,3,9.
