Moderate tempo with Insain Harry leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. INSAIN HARRY (3) has been saved for this and is a decent chance to deliver the hat-trick. Just missed as favourite here last time and on what we saw in that, the longer sprint will hold no fears. Has the blinkers on for the first time and is the one to beat. STAY SILENT (2) led and won this grade/distance at Sale and has more up his sleeve. Ethan Brown is a key jockey switch and he rates a threat. MOUNT SABYINYO (5) improved sharply leading and winning a Cranbourne Maiden by 3.3L as favourite and then held that figure on the Hillside. Is likely to present at peak fitness and can use the inside barrier. He can bounce without surprise. AXIOM (7) resumed here over shorter and found a place after a tough run. Steps up to 1300m here with a key gear switch and a soft gate. He can get into the money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Insain Harry.
