Anticipate Fiorsum Fred, Afloat and Throttle Response to set a strong tempo. Good race. THROTTLE RESPONSE (6) led all the way and gave nothing else a chance last start over 1550m at Canterbury. Finished a close second over 2070m at Doomben earlier in the prep so this longer trip holds no fears. Will roll along up front and be hard to peg back. OAKFIELD MAMSELLE (3) won second-up over the mile at Newcastle then was just fair over 1550m at Canterbury last time. Needs this trip at the fourth run back. AUTUMN WINTER (1) did a good job off a 70-week break on his Australian debut at Wyong a fortnight ago. Likely improver along with ALABAMA BLITZ (4) who comes here off a last-start win and should have more to offer now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Throttle Response to go back-to-back.
