A strong gallop is likely with Chico Casino and Pyromania taking up the running, closely attended by Emphatic Bel and Motorboat. MAN FROM BRUSSELLS (10) is ticking along nicely, backing up a solid fourth two runs back with a strong second at Bathurst. Can go one better. EMPHATIC BEL (13) is ticking along nicely this prep, drawn to get a soft run and suited over her pet distance. With the claim she gets in light and is right in the frame. GRINS (1) is always dangerous at this journey, and although likely to get back, she’ll be charging late with the 3kg claimer aboard. Hard to rule out. MISS CAPRICORN (11) is also in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Man From Brussells on top.
