Strong early tempo with So Sway and Pio Kerri to lead the way over Born To Talk and Military Power. FIRST LAW (8) wasn't far away when 1.8L off the winner most recently. That was over 1400m here and he drops right back in trip for today's assignment. He remains at the bottom of the weights and his sprinting form prior to last start is quite good. Drawn well and can return to winning form. MILITARY POWER (6) held them off as favourite last start to get the job done over 1000m here a fortnight ago. The slight rise in distance won't be an issue and he has the speed to get across from out wide. Won't be far away if he runs up to his most recent effort. EEVALINA (2) won well two back before a solid effort in tougher company to end last campaign at Ascot. Her recent trial coming into this was solid and Fiore has had success when riding previously. Can make her presence felt. BORN TO TALK (1) brings the best form into the race, though that was over a year ago now. Nice trial coming in suggests he may be able to threaten first-up. MOCHA DREAM (4) is sure to be flashing home. SUGGESTED PLAY: First Law can end his winning drought.
