Solid tempo anticipated with Beejay Boy and Idyllic Ruler leading the way. FAMOUS DAIN (6) steps up to 1800m third-up into the campaign after rattling home last start to win by 0.5L. That was a very impressive win and he's placed in both attempts over this distance. Pike remains in the saddle and he'll be coming home with a wet sail once again. AUDIO BOY (2) just missed first-up and rattled home strongly from the back of the pack to finish 1L off the winner last start at Ascot. This is a little easier and this is the first time he steps out beyond a mile. Looks well placed on recent efforts and if he can improve again, he'll be hard to hold out. ZAZA ROCK (4) will find this easier than last start where he was well beaten over this trip at Ascot. CJP opts to ride him over others which is a good push and he should be hitting his peak fitness now. Can play a major role. COVERT ROSE (3) may appreciate the rise in trip again and maps for a lovely run. Can be in the finish. BEEJAY BOY (5) is better than he showed last start and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Famous Dain goes on top in the Diggers Cup.
