Solid tempo with Testing The Cugat, Elisa and Launch Mode the ones to roll forward. TAYTAY BAY (1) has closed off strongly into second in his last two and is ready to put it all together now. If Cole can settle him a pair or two closer this time he will prove mighty tough to hold out. ANLADIO (3) improved on his fourth at Canberra two back with success over 1800m at Gundagai a week-and-a-half ago. Found winning form now and still has upside. Can win again. DUNNA RUNNA (5) was a bit below his best last time in town but his prior figures measure up nicely for this. Boudvillain's booking adds confidence. Can certainly make a case. HIGH TORQUE (7) hasn't won for a long time but boasts strong peaks and is no query at the trip. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taytay Bay to win.
