Moderate tempo headed by Headphones. GREAT MAXIMUS (7) is going better than his form suggests. Has tackled some strong races this campaign and now drops back to a grade he won in to launch the campaign. Could go either way from the inside draw but he carries a class edge. Leading player. KATIM'S CLUB (9) has hit the line hard in her last two. Shoulders a handy record over this journey and only needs to hold her form to be competitive. SACHEM (10) continues to knock on the door but is just lacking the winning blow. Expect him to head straight back from the wide draw and be saved for the final shot at them. BAMYAN BUDDHA (3) lengthened nicely to get close on the line when resuming at Murray Bridge. Improvement to come and he warrants respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Great Maximus to win.
