Expecting All In Vain to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. ALL IN VAIN (3) was an impressive runner-up in a slowly run race last start, where he sprinted well. He presents on the quick backup subsequent to that run and can go one better here. He has won at this track before. TRIPLE OH (6) has been building toward a peak performance this campaign, and it looks as if it may be here. He returns to the synthetic surface, where he won two starts ago, indicating some intent. He can win this. CALLAWADDA (4) races on a synthetic surface for the first time. He was beaten a head when runner-up on his return from a break last start at Warracknabeal over 1610m. He may need one more, but he has a major chance. MY SYMPHONY (2) won well last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with All In Vain.
