Strong early tempo with Our Anchorage and Don Diego De Vega leading the way. OUR ANCHORAGE (11) tough gelding who made it three straight when crushing his rivals with the 59.5kg over the 2000m here at latest. Ready to tackle this class on the limit and his fitness will see him hard to get past. DON DIEGO DE VEGA (13) disappointed as fav when resuming with a plugging seventh over 1600m at Randwick in a muddling run contest. Can stalk the good tempo and improve sharply as he gets out in trip. ASTERIX (3) returned from a lengthy spell for the Waller yard when catching the eye late with the 58kg to run seventh over 1600m at Randwick. Will keep improving as he gets out in trip and look for him charging late. KINESIOLOGY (10) another Waller runner who resumed with a fast finishing sixth over 1600m at Randwick. Proven at this level and expect to see him take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Anchorage to win.
