A solid tempo anticipated with Super Lad and Cinque Torri ahead of Zebella and Oxford Blue. STAR SIRIUS (6) has been a flashing light in his last two and the sectionals scream that he’ll relish getting to 1400m fourth-up. He’s drawn to take much closer order from the inside alley and gets 4kg off, so a bold showing is firmly on the cards. VEXATIOUS DANCER (4) is going far better than her form reads and has been savaging the line. She’ll drift back again from the wide draw but won’t know herself at this weight and a hot tempo sets it right up for her to slice through late. FLOREY (8) has progressed nicely this prep and gets another chance to rise through the grades. She left it too late last time and you’d expect them to be more proactive here. Drops back to a winning trip off 35 days and looms as a major threat. SUPER LAD (3) didn’t give them a sniff last start at headquarters when leading throughout. He concedes weight to a couple of these and should have more company in front but he has to be respected. YASUKE (9) is warming into his prep and is another who can launch late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Sirius gets the nod.
