Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Tajanis. BRITISH COLUMBIA (1) seems to be appreciating the slightly longer trips, winning very well over 1700m at Caulfield last start in a BM84. He's now out to 2000m but that shouldn't pose an issue and he maps well with added fitness to come. LAUDING (3) struggled first up in the British Columbia race but didn't have the best of luck and did show some ability last time in. If Melham can settle him closer he can improve out of sight. ST VINCENTS GARDEN (8) made his Australian debut at Sunshine Coast and hit the line well for second. He should take plenty of benefit from that and this trip will suit. STAR VEGA (11) is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: British Columbia on top.
