Moderate pace with Reigning Star taking up the running ahead of Diadochos and Frankel Star. IN THAT MODE (3) is building nicely, not far away last start at Balaklava when closing off well into fourth. Backs up quickly and should be sharper with the blinkers going on first time. Leading player. ALFANO (6) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third at Port Lincoln. Is another on the quick back-up and is another with strong prospects. ARC DE PUISSANCE (1) was well below his best last start at Balaklava but his prior form measures up. Kept on the fresh side and is worth another chance. LAKE AGAWAM (10) made progress last time out, finishing second at Port Lincoln. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SUGGESTED PLAY: In That Mode gets the nod.
