Strong tempo with Tsarine, Bons To Riches and Aliano leading the way. ALIANO (1) clearly on top. He was a dominant maiden winner two back at $1.45 and went right on with it last time, powering away from the progressive Tower Bridge to post another big margin victory. He'll have no issue rising to 1400m and draws for every chance. TSARINE (10) is knocking on the door, good in a strongly run race over this trip two back, okay when beaten as favourite out to a mile last time. Back in trip here with blinkers on looks to suit. JEWEL BAY (7) was much better second up here in this grade when getting home strongly into second. He should be at peak fitness now and prove hard to hold out late. BONS TO RICHES (2) has won 2/3 this time in, winning well at Cranbourne last time. He can go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aliano to win.
