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

A strong tempo is assured with Hells Spirit and Mr Tadashi leading the charge. HELLS SPIRIT (3) progressive gelding who can make it three straight wins from the good gate. Will have little trouble handling this field after he carried the 60kg for a tough win over 2000m at Albury. Top strike rate at the journey with three wins and two placings from five starts and is right in this. JUSTIFIABLY (6) failed to handle the heavy track last start with a fading fifth at this course and distance. Visors go on and can improve quickly on a firmer track. Each way. MR TADASHI (11) handy on-pace stayer who made rapid improvement to get the job done in a tight finish over this track and trip at latest. Shapes as a top-three contender. SUPER PARADISE (2) has come back a much stronger gelding this prep and expected to get this distance. Had excuses last start and the senior rider hops aboard. ZIGGY ROSE (5) back in grade and has the ability to get the better of these. Worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,6,11,2.
