Genuine tempo with Strummer and Phoebe Buffay leading the way. CALEANA (10) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Geelong but disappointed last time when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, at Cranbourne over 1400m. Ready for 1600m now and he looks to have more upside than most rivals. Another lightly-raced type, LEVERAGED BUYOUT (7), could be the main danger. Found it a bit rich last start, but was a good maiden winner at this trip the start prior and draws beautifully for this. MAKTOOB (2) ran his best race in a while last start and contested some stronger races than this earlier in the preparation, so he could go on with it from a nice low draw. PHOEBE BUFFAY (8) returns to the track where she was an impressive winner last time out and that was only third-up so there should be some improvement to come. SAVVIE BLANC (3) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing sixth over 1600m at Cranbourne most recently but is a winner here and should now be at peak fitness. SUGGESTED PLAY: Caleana to win.
