Solid pace from High Pressure and Honest Legend fending off pressure from other on-pacers engaged. RED CADILLAC (3) impressed narrowly beaten on resumption. She won second-up and fitter should go close. Stablemate DANCE OF THUNDER (5) resumes and is right up to this if presented forward. His peaks are over further but he has a soft draw and Faithfull rides. No surprise to see him tuned up. COUNTER DRIVE (1) deserved the win this grade when leading all the way. The 2kg claimer will push forward and he's been kept on the fresh side. A chance to repeat. HIGH PRESSURE (2) led first up in the Red Cadillac race and folded up late. He's a second-up winner with more up his sleeve. Will have come on and has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Red Cadillac.
