Without a recognised leader, Here For Cheques and One Punch will likely set the pace. ESTA MIRANDO (4) is a classy customer who couldn't fire on the Heavy deck last time when on the quick turnaround. Slightly out in trip should suit again and the firmer footing is a big tick for her chances. Can bounce back to her best and return to winning ways. MORE HEROIC (10) is building nicely and there appears to be more intent this time around. CJP rides third-up and it wouldn't surprise to see him sit closer third-up. Sharp improvement is expected now. CHOLLIMA (1) may not have handled the Heavy going last start and was in much better form prior. ZJP's claim comes in handy and the wide draw doesn't matter with his racing pattern. She's unbeaten at this course and she can bounce back to her best. UNCLE GERARD (6) is third-up here and he boasts a solid third-up record. Can improve getting right out in trip. ONE PUNCH (2) can improve third-up and out in distance, with Faithfull hopping back on board. SUGGESTED PLAY: Esta Mirando can win the finale.
