Anticipate Superstitions, Seventies Hit and Ammand to set a strong tempo.
FOURSOMES (8) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but go on the strong maiden victory two back when resuming. Looks the runner in this field with the most upside and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be featuring in the finish. SUPERSTITIONS (7) is an honest campaigner who has hit the top-four in 11 of 12 career efforts and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Rates a serious threat. The well-related SEVENTIES HIT (4) (half to Hong Kong superstar Voyage Bubble) will strip fitter third-up from the break and should be ready to peak now. In the mix. NAPOLEON STRIKE (13) has been thereabouts in all four runs since joining the new barn and is drawn to get a soft run from gate two. One for the multiples. ATTENTIVE (2) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 8,7,4,13.
