Oceana Dream is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. Competitive race but want to stick with the SIMURGH (5) formline. He's won two on the bounce, too strong in good time before really knuckling down late last time when staying at 2000m. Love the rise in trip now and while he's creeping up in the weights he's the one to beat again. SKIPPERS CANYON (7) looked to have Simurgh in his sights at the 200m mark last start but couldn't quite reel him in, now meeting him 3kg better off. He'll have no issue to 2400m either and looks the main danger again. Want to side with the pair ahead of STRAAND DEAL (9) who was a dominant winner last start at Sandown Lakeside but this is a lot tougher. Not knocking, just think he's short enough. KURAKKA (10) is going well without winning and has claims as does OCEANA DREAM (6) who was just behind Simurgh last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Simurgh & Skippers Canyon.
