A solid tempo is anticipated with Presocratics and Daitanna kicking up to hold out the next wave.
MISSILE ONE (5) has a handy record at this track with two wins and five placings from nine starts and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Building up to another victory and is sure to be right there when the judge calls a halt. PRESOCRATICS (4) grows a leg for hoop Taylor who has two wins and a placing from just three steers. Has won first-up before and can run a big race while fresh. MERCIAN (6) loves this course and distance with two wins and a second from three attempts. Shapes as one to consider. DAITANNA (8) has been very consistent of late and should be able to sit up on speed from the inside alley. Top-three credentials. UNFAITHFUL (9) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on her day. Worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Missile One.
