Hot Flush should lead and control the tempo. AMMO AMOR (6) has been freshened after tackling some stronger metropolitan races. He's back in grade and has kept fit with a trial between runs. He's drawn well and gets the services of Toeroek. Suspect he'll be hard to beat. FLYING ASSASSIN (3) is living up to his name and is racing in career-best form. No reason why he can't make it three wins on the bounce. SIR LORD (2) steps up in trip and, if he can return to the form that saw him win here two starts back, he's a top-three chance again. BACK ME UP BENNY (7) is mixing his form but can run a cheeky race, while ENCIPHERING (1) must go in as a dominant last-start winner. Handy race for this grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ammo Amor each-way.
