Expecting Titanium Power to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. TITANIUM POWER (8) was a touch disappointing last start but he is rock hard fit and looks to get all the favours on-speed. Has never missed the money over this trip and can catch a few on the hop. SUREFIRE (4) is very intriguing, last seen in the Sydney Cup. You would suspect this will be too short for him, but he has a touch of class on his side. OSCAR ZULU (3) was no hope from the draw last start but surely settles closer this time. Bowman on a key push and he rates top on best form. Worth another chance. MUGATOO (1) will likely need the run but it's hard to ignore his obvious class edge. He could just be too good for them. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Titanium Power.
