Solid tempo from Macer's Razor, Tyquendo and Prophesier battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. TYQUENDO (3) won fresh up at Darwin but could not carry that form through to his track debut here nearly 2 weeks ago where he looked like he needed the hit-out. He will be a lot tighter with that hit-out under his belt and is expected to improve sharply. KIEFFER (1) made up for a poor showing fresh up as favourite by demolishing his maiden rivals by over 8 lengths here 6 weeks ago. A brief freshen-up would have done him no harm and he can win again. MACER'S RAZOR (2) followed up a solid effort for third when resuming with a well-deserved and overdue win here 3 weeks ago by over 2 lengths. He should relish an extra furlong and can now go on with the job. NICODEMUS (6) was the beaten favourite in the same race as the third pick last start but that was his first run back from a spell. He strips fitter and even though he is still a maiden, he should clear that status at short notice in this campaign. SUGGESTED PLAY: Macer's Razor each way.
