There should be a bit of pressure with Rokabye Warrior and Grinzinger Halo pressing forward in advance of Tower Of Tuscany and My Crackling. A modest race on paper and a very winnable assignment for PELEVECCHIO (2), who is second-up to 1600m. She found the line nicely at the end of 1400m. She looks to have the class edge on these, especially given her form in Stakes races as a three-year-old. Opperman is a plus, as is barrier two. UNPRAISED (7) looks the danger. She's progressing through her grades nicely this campaign and is racing with confidence. She's got no weight after the claim. TOWER OF TUSCANY (3) was good chasing a smart one in a sit-sprint and his late effort was as good as the winner. He can settle closer from the inside draw. GRINZINGER HALO (5) and BOOM BANG (1) are both recent winners that deserve some thought as top three chances here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Pelevecchio to win.
