Plenty of pressure with Choisaanada, Confederate and Musical Score leading the charge. Fantastic race and plenty of pressure over the mile. CONFEDERATE (4) is a Grade 1 winner at 1800m taking the TAB SA Classic a few starts ago. Resumed with a big win over 1450m on the inside track here and has a great second-up record. Looks tough to beat again. ATTICUS FINCH (1) just missed fresh behind Tin Pan Alley who is engaged earlier in the day. Goes very well second-up and looks a top chance over the extra ground. CALLMEGETRIX (13) is a very much in-form mare who was a Grade 2 winner last time. Big weight drop for this and will be on speed and hard to run down. CHOISAANADA (11) was also close to Tin Pan Alley fresh when gave a sight. Fitter and will be prominent throughout.
