Run And Tell and Wanted In A Gust should set a strong tempo. MILLIVOY (1) made light work of his rivals two back here over this journey, putting the best part of 3L to his nearest rival. Was far from disgraced last start in town when sticking on gamely into fourth. Only has to hold his form to be fighting out the finish. IN THE DARKNESS (7) has finished midfield in her two runs back. Nearing a peak now and is a two-time winner over this distance. Genuine hope. SWISS WISH (8) wasn't far away fresh but struggled last time at Oakbank. Strips fitter and on the short turnaround and is among the chances. WANTED IN A GUST (10) has been mixing her form this campaign but has best figures that measure up. Can feature down in the weights. SUGGESTED PLAY: Millivoy to win.
