Expecting Stay Astern to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. A LOT OF CLASS (3) is inching closer to another victory, finishing only 0.4L at this track and trip under Yuill. He'll need a touch of luck from the barrier, but the form out of his last start has worked out well and he rates highly on the most recent effort. Can go one better this time. DUTCH POR (4) has run home strongly over 1413m last start to be 1.3L off the winner most recently. The rise in distance looks ideal and he draws a better barrier this time around. Can land the knockout blow. BLACK SANDS (1) rates highly off his latest effort where he beat home Dutch Por, beaten 0.5L in that same event. He boasts a solid record at this trip and if he can hold his form, he can make his presence felt. NAVY SUN (2) was too good last start to finish 0.6L in front. Can sit close to the speed again and put his best foot forward. DAIYAMONDO (5) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with A Lot Of Class.
