Genuine tempo with the speedy Pat's Last Bang leading the way. BATTLE ON BATTLER (3) produced a stunning turnaround last start, storming home from off the speed to win with a bit in hand. Confidence will be sky-high and while the weights rise, he looks to have more to give. Can go back-to-back. PAT’S LAST BANG (8) gave a bold sight in that same race and lost little in defeat. Tough, genuine and rock fit, she’ll look to control things again and will take plenty of catching if left alone up front. SHAKERATO (11) was solid fresh then below his best last start, but should be nearing his peak now. Expect a sharper showing. A LOT OF CLASS (6) should appreciate extra ground and will be hitting the line hard late if tempo suits. BLITZ (7) keeps racing honestly and with the claim again, he can sneak into the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Battle On Battler can win again.
