Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 1100m journey. CENTURY SONG (2) resumed with a narrow defeat as favourite at Kembla Grange and then was plainer finding a distant placing at Warwick Farm. Presents fitter again and is much better suited. Is still well shy of his best and gets his chance to break through. TOP SPEED (5) is an improver in the Maher stable. He went close at Canberra on debut and is sure to build on that. MOON JEWEL (9) resumed as favourite at Doomben two months ago and disappointed. Has been switched south by the Michael Freedman stable and has trialled well enough at Canterbury. Maps for a soft run and quick improvement is likely. FIREPOP (8) has impressed in to Sydney trials coming into this and can play a leading role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Century Song.
