Pace strong with Our Destrier and Street Culture leading with Ichibansan nearby. ICHIBANSAN (4) stuck on gamely after pressing forward from a wide gate last time over the mile here, finishing a gritty second. Draws better here and looks ready to go one better. DOCTOR ROBERT (3) brings winning momentum, saluting narrowly last start over 1750m at Hawker. That made it two on the bounce, and with Sairyn Fawke sticking, the hat-trick is well within reach. OUR DESTRIER (2) continues to race consistently, following a monster win at this track with a narrow second to Doctor Robert last start. Has tactical speed and gives himself every chance. Right in this. UNISPHERE (6) came from well back to score impressively here last start. Steps up in trip but shoulders upside and must be respected. THE TRUE BELIEVER (5) is capable of a much better showing. Don't dismiss completely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ichibansan to win.
