Plenty of pace with Hezangelic and Art Session up front, pressured by Uukhai and Repeater. HEZANGELIC (1) will find this much easier than the Saturday company he's been racing in, just missing last start over this trip when a $2.90 chance. Back to this level is a big tick and O'Donnell's claim comes in handy. Expecting him to jump to the front and be very hard to run down. ALLENTOWN (5) led them up on resumption and in his first start for the Gangemi's, only caught late as the race favourite. Should be better for that effort and one of his wins has come when second-up in the past. Back in top order and can go to another level again now. ART SESSION (7) has returned in good order without winning, jumping favourite last time out at this track and trip. Third-up now and at the peak of his powers, this looks to work out well. Can make his presence felt. UNDER INFLUENCE (6) has to be included with his recent form rating well in this field. DESERT DANCING (8) is unbeaten at this track and trip and should get every chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hezangelic looks well placed.
