Plenty of pressure expected over the mile. FREIGHT TRAIN (3) is a progressive gelding who resumes here. He sprinted hard to score first up last time in as favourite, also winning easily at Sale prior to a spell. Kicks off in an ideal race for him and Shinn should give him every chance. TYPHOON HARMONY (2) stuck on gamely last start at Morphettville over this trip in BM82 grade, beaten a length into third. He'll land on speed doing no work and take catching. AL DUCA (4) won well at Moonee Valley last time out, beating three rivals on that occasion. He'll roll forward and should take beating again. LAVALIER (10) was just fair fresh in a slowly run race at Wyong over 1350m but is far better placed up in trip today. He showed good staying promise in the Spring when competitive at stakes level. Wary. MR BUSTER (9) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Freight Train to win.
