Strong tempo, primarily from Chasing Aphrodite and Sir Kingsford. CHASING APHRODITE (4) has been good in his first two runs since hopping of the plane. Has run strong times and won't know himself under the light weight. Expect him to quickly offset the wide draw and give backers a very bold sight. SIR KINGSFORD (3) was back at his best last start when leading pillar-to-post on the Parks surface. Hasn't seen the Oakbank track before but that shouldn't bother him with further improvement in store he can repeat the dose. MOTORACE (5) is knocking on the door. Chased in vein behind Sir Kingsford but meets him slightly better at the weights now and should be nearing his peak fourth-up. Can turn the tables. DUAL FUEL (7) often leaves herself with too much to do but is sure to cause a scare if she's close enough at the turn. BEACH PAD (8) has struck a purple patch of form but faces the testing material now. Have to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chasing Aphrodite to win.
