Genuine tempo with Astromancer and Lancelotto leading the way. LAKE AGAWAM (2) was a long way back here two weeks ago and picked off a few late. If he can get a drag into the race, he can finish his races off strongly. FASHION DOG (1) has shown enough to be given a chance. He comes out of a very decent form race. Will just require some luck in the early stages. ARTISSI (4) is another not helped at the barriers but does get back anyway. Speed on will aid her chances. SHIKANIC (11) can improve third up. Is in quite light here. LANCELOTTO (8) draws a lot better in today's race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lake Agawam will finish hard. Just needs the pace to be on.
