A solid tempo on the cards with Highlands heading them off. HIGHLANDS (5) is a former Victorian who had first run for new yard over 1100m and turned in a fair run to finish fifth. Fitter and extra trip a plus. Best career form has been when second-up from a spell and expecting a far better run this time. HEBEL (6) was a determined winner over today's course and distance last start, building on an already solid record at the track and trip. This tougher but big weight drop and should be there at the finish again. LIMITED RISK (7) was not far away last time out, finishing third over 1200m at weight for age. Bursting to win and don't underestimate despite the quick back-up. VERBOSITY (3) was a winner two back then not far away in fourth latest. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix with a big weight drop on last start. THE FINAL WORD (9) is ready to win and has a good record course and distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Highlands.
