Looks a decent tempo with Lesgo Don, Shintaro Lass and Dupont leading the charge. YELLOWHAMMER (2) underrated mare who will find this more to her liking at her fifth run in. Taken back from the wide draw and failed to get into the contest when eighth over 1600m at Eagle Farm in BM68 class. Tempo suits and can finish over the top of these. CASSIA LANE (1) gets nice weight relief with Farr's 3kg claim and won't know herself in this company. Chipped away late when eighth over 1400m at Glen Innes. Look for her powering late. LESGO DON (5) is racing in career best form and her best runs have been over this trip. Sound return with the 60kg when attacking the line to finish a close fourth over 1200m at Glen Innes. Will benefit with the claim and should not be underestimated. I AM CONVINCING (13) returns from a let-up with two searching trials. His lone win came at this trip and adept in all conditions. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,1,5,13.
