Wheeling and Volkanovski should set a strong gallop. THOROS OF MYR (3) is resuming from an 11-month spell and will be a lot stronger this year. He has plenty of pace and will find this easier than his last runs at the end of his last prep. If ready, he can take this out. CHEROKEE DANCER (4) has a good record here and didn't kick on as expected here last time out over 1150m. He slides down in class, and won't mind racing over this shorter trip, and can bounce back into the money here. MISS KEEDS (10) showed a lot of courage to score fresh-up by half a length at Hobart 4 weeks ago, and she has been back to the trials on this surface since then. She won't find this any harder, and with the advantage of the pole position, she could even double the dose. POWER MAGNUM (11) has won 4 times on this surface, and even though he is mixing his form, he can never be ruled out in a race like this. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Keeds each way.
