Slick tempo with Reluctance to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. TURBULENT (5) made good progress last time in and has trialled twice for this. Sharp return on the cards. MONTE KATE (3) drops back in trip after a midfield result first up. Overall form is smart and senior rider sticks solid. Genuine claims. FLIGHTCREW (6) delivered a strong short course win first up and that form looks solid. Despite a wide draw can handle the class rise. DUFRESNE (1) is the class animal in the race but is a query at this trip with such a big weight. Will be attacking the line late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Turbulent each-way.
