My Roca Fella and Gregolimo will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. AMLETO (5) looks ideally placed to find winning form. Beaten a head fresh over 1700m in a high rating race at Warrnambool then beaten less than a length over 2000m latest racing on speed. Ready to win and expected to go close. ALMAIRAC (8) is at top after four runs in. Long time since a win but hasn't been far away, the latest a fourth over 2400m at Sandown. Overdue for a win and looks hard to hold out. OAK BEACH (11) was a close-up fourth when third-up from a break and is another at top now. Yet to win on soft tracks but well placed here and looks tough to stop. FURTHEREST POINT (12) is one to watch closely. Just four career starts but all four good over a trip and from a yard renowned for having them ready fresh. Very wary. SHAHZAD (7) was well off best last time but the start prior was placed in a very high rating race at the Bool when beaten half a length and that form is good for this. Senior rider goes on and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Amleto.
