Pace looks strong with Chantel pressing on from an outside draw, joining Exceltrain. PLATINUM SHOT (5) flew home from the back of the pack to just miss here 13 days ago and should appreciate the slight rise in trip. She maps for a softer run this time around under Faithfull, who strikes at 22% when riding for Team Pearce. Looks well placed and can go one better this time around. CLIMB ON TOP (3) was good fresh when just peaking on the run late in the same race as Platinum Shot. The map looks a touch sticky for Pike this time around, though he'll be fitter and he's won 3/4 second-up. Expecting him to be right in the finish once again. SHOW THE WAY (10) can bounce back third-up after dipping in his form a touch at Bunbury last time out as favourite. Back up to 1400m looks a smart move, however, and if he gets some luck from the gate, he'll go close. EXCELTRAIN (1) disappointed in Saturday grade fresh and will find this much easier. Will take catching. LONG GENES (8) can feature in the finish first-up under CJP. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Platinum Shot in the last.
