Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. MIDTOWN BOSS (1) resumes. He was disappointing as a $2.15 favourite first up last time in and then outclassed at G2 level, but on his day he's very good and does typically relish the straight. CODIGO (2) has won both starts this time in, kicking on to score narrowly over this route last time out. No reason he can't figure again. CHEVAL CHIC (9) wasn't far away last time in a decent race and has each way claims. KIKO (14) can win if held up for a short sprint. SUGGESTED PLAY: Midtown Boss to win.
