Key News, Beynac and Kissing Machine can set the pace. LAST CAR TO PASS (3) has finished second in her last two starts after a spell. She was running on over this course and distance last time. She is having her peak run today and with Craig Zackey in the saddle, she should be competitive. BEYNAC (2) raced from a handy position over 1800m last time and stayed on to finish third. He is having his second run after a rest and should strip much fitter. Has winning claims. KEY NEWS (1) was in need of his comeback run in the Non-Black Type Betway Secretariat Stakes last time. He will strip much fitter and must be considered. ICHACHA (6) is better than his last start run would suggest. He gets the services of 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Nirvan Nastili which will assist his cause. If putting his best foot forward, he should be fighting out the finish.
