Lack of early pace suggests a pedestrian tempo is on the cards over this journey. PIRAEUS (4) one-paced stayer who will find this more to his liking after finishing thereabouts of late. Finished a narrow third at Wyong two back before failing to handle the soft (7) conditions when sixth over 2100m at Gosford on April 10. Quick back-up suits and expected to go close. MARSABIT (2) huge class drop for this after failing to get into the contest when tenth over 2600m in the G2 Chairman's Quality at Randwick on April 6. Fitness won't be an issue and expected to play a leading role. VINCENZO (1) smart Real Impact gelding racing in a rich vein of form. Made it back-to-back wins when carrying the 60.5kg for a dominant 1.5 len victory over 2100m at Tamworth on April 8. Backs up quickly and sure to be thereabouts. ATHENA'S LAD (3) holding his form well and the trip shouldn't pose a problem after running on late when fourth over 1700m in the Wellington Cup on April 14. Can run into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,2,1,3.
