Keen tempo headed by Diesel's Shadow. DIESEL'S SHADOW (1) finished second of nine when resuming from a spell two runs back at this track then went one better last start to score over 1800m at this track. He has won third-up previously and should prove hard to beat again. DARK SILVER (4) went a bold race to finish third of nine here last start over 2000m at this track. Jumping from an inside draw has each-way claims. HIGH QUEUE (5) finished a close-up fourth of 10 last start over 1800m at this track in his second run this prep. Racing in a fitter state should be finishing in the money. CREPUSCOLO (11) battled on well when finishing fifth of 10 at this track over 1800m last start when sent out at long odds. Jumps from an inside draw and can place.
