Expecting a slick tempo with Constellation, Green Diamond and William Robertson leading the way. Terrific race. BUFFALO STORM CODY (1) looks a top chance. Has won five of last six and is a Grade 1 winning sprinter. Loves this circuit and will go close. KINGDUNDEE (2) boasts a top strike-rate winning eight of 11 starts. Grade 1 winner latest and looks set to go close again. WILLIAM ROBERTSON (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1160m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race. TAXI TO THE MOON (5) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start was just edged out when runner-up over 1000m at this track.
