Off the low draw Crown Waters is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. TANNENBURG (3) let down powerfully to score comfortably by a length here in a similar field 11 days ago over 1300m. He will be even better over a mile, and despite having a wide gate, with an extra 2kg to carry, he should be the one to beat again. STORMFRONT (8) is a very progressive gelding who hails from the powerful Peter Robl stable. He cruised home here 11 days ago and has the scope to win this as well. HETTINGER (11) needed his fresh-up run here 18 days ago over 1300m, and usually improves quickly with racing. He has won 3 times on this track over a mile, and can figure in the finish. PINK PANTHER (7) set the pace and gave a good kick when finishing runner-up behind the second pick here last time out. He has a strong record over the mile and will take some pegging back again. AWASH (4) needed his first local run here fresh up from a spell 18 days ago. He will relish racing over a mile and will also drop down in class for his second-up assignment. Don't risk him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tannenburg can repeat the dose.
