Strong pace as Nation's Call pushes forward along with Black Storm from an outside gate. Sticking with MADIYYA (15) who went agonisingly close at Flemington last time out, just left with a nose (if that) left to do off a slow speed, diving on the line and just missing the photo. She's building to a win and Mott should have her sweeping into this late. MR BLUNT (14) was a dominant winner two back at Flemington, struggling as a short priced favourite there last time in a bit of a strange race. He can bounce back although a soft track is unknown. FIRST CHORUS (7) is also a bit of a tricky one. She was scratched a couple of times with a foot issue having won very well here two back. She was okay back in trip last week and now backs up quickly to 1700m which should suit better, although the draw hurts. NATION'S CALL (5) beat Madiyya last time and has to have some claims up on speed again. THINK GIANT (3) is an import who was last seen in a German Group 1, market best guide off a solid trial win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Madiyya to win.
