Plenty of pace from the outset with Chicane and Exalted Crown leading the charge. SHARMA'S LAST (1) resumed in stronger and took it out. He has more up the sleeve and is proven second-up. Has the handy 2kg claim and fitter can go on with the job. CORNELIAN BAY (6) resumed this grade in good order and then was back to his best nudged out in a 60. The longer sprint is a slight niggle but he will be fitter again and is on a quick back-up. THE SPIRIT OF ZERO (4) made good improvement winning the 64 this track/trip. Finally draws a low barrier and can't be ruled out. CHICANE (8) is also a last-start 60 winner and the 2kg claimer can use the inside barrier. He has claims as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Sharma's Last.
