Only a small field but Laser Beam, Tennagain and Ignazio will ensure a genuine tempo. Former Victorian IGNAZIO (4) broke the maiden status in his first run for the new stable when heavily supported and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that dominant victory. Can go right on with the job now. LEAN EAGLE (1) has hit the top-four in all six career outings to date and is yet to put in a poor performance. Top-three candidate. FANCIFUL MR FOX (5) resumes here but has tuned up for this with a recent trial placing and the form prior to the spell was consistent enough. Respect any market confidence. LASER BEAM (3) next best while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ignazio to go back-to-back.
