Larsen Bay or Emperor Tzu to take the lead and attempt to control the tempo. SOLDIER BOI (6) will find this much more to his liking than recent runs against top 3yo company at Flemington. The run two back especially when getting home strongly behind Brave Danza reads very well. He can improve again and take a power of holding out. SUNSETS (2) really struggles to win but isn't going badly of late. First go at the synthetic for him, his best form is absolutely good enough to beat these. EMPEROR TZU (4) comes through the same races as Soldier Boi, finishing very narrowly ahead of that horse two back, albeit Soldier Boi had a tricky run. He maps well and should give a sight. KAWA (8) is coming off a win in easier but could measure up while CHIMED (3) has run well on synthetics before and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Soldier Boi to win.
