A solid tempo on the cards with Independent Road taking charge. INDEPENDENT ROAD (1) is deep into his preparation but finds the right race. Will find this more suitable than a 100 at Moonee Valley and led when missing a lip at Stony Creek prior. He has a handy 2kg claim and is in the right stable. Has a ratings edge and just has to put his best foot forward. STAR BUYER (3) deserved the Open win at Gundagai this trip, and keeps improving. Finally draws an inside barrier and is the threat. OFF THE DEEP END (6) brings strong form from easier, and races handy. He can make the finish. THE NEPHEW (2) has ability but has to come back 1200m freshened. It's an ask, but he's worth keeping onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Independent Road.
