The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. ECO FORCE (7) narrowly on top. She's finding it tough to break through for a second career win, runner-up her past couple at Cranbourne. She was beaten under a length last time out. She draws to sit on speed and can get the job done. ALZARO (9) was just fair second up in town when getting back on a day that was tough to make ground. The fresh run at Caulfield Heath behind a very progressive horse reads very well, go close. QUICKAZ (6) ran well fresh at Cranbourne and should strip fitter. She should get a nice run just behind the speed and take holding out. GAZERATI (1) is coming off a narrow maiden win here and has scope to improve while DOUBTLAND DIVA (10) could be an improver on best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eco Force on top.
