Plenty of pace evident with Testing The Cugat and Unique Prince leading the way from Helluva Soiree and Dynamic One. CLIFF HOUSE (1) is as consistent as they come and is the clear class horse. Continued the trend last start when runner-up in the Wellington Cup after he was in the firing line all the way. Finds a more suitable contest and will prove tough to stop. THIS IS THE MOMENT (4) has hit the line nicely in his two runs back. Has further improvement to come and can give this a big shake. HELLUVA SOIREE (7) is a mare in form who has really found her feet stepping out over staying trips. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role. UNIQUE PRINCE (6) has good early toe and is a track and trip winner. Can give some cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cliff House gets the nod. Saving on Helluva Soiree.
