|---|---|---|---|---|

Just a moderate tempo headed by True To Form, Facundo and Chamierro. FACUNDO (5) is yet to miss a place in four starts over this distance range and will be ready to peak now third run back from a break. Gets 2kg off with the claim and should give backers a sight up on speed. TRUE TO FORM (3) brings southern formlines to the equation and should find this task a touch easier. Top-three commodity. CREATIVITY MISS (13) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and is a must for the multiples. CHO OYU (8) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,3,13,8.
