Small field in which Sacred Eagle can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. REGAL LION (2) peaks and has been racing well enough in stronger in town to say this is achievable. Should enjoy a soft run from the inside gate and dropping back to the middle distance suits. PITTSBURGH PIRATE (1) was back on track winning the Horsham Cup over 2100m. Had the blinkers on again and from a soft gate he looks capable of repeating the dose. SHULTZY (9) did a big job beaten 2.2L at Moonee Valley this trip just 8 days ago. That stacks right up and he must be pleasing. SACRED EAGLE (8) is a player off the good second at Avoca on the latest outing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Regal Lion.
