Titan Rising can slide across and take up the running in a race devoid of early pace. UNWIND (13) has been getting left with too much to do but hitting the line hard. At her top now and if the pace is genuine, she will prove a handful to stop. FULL COMMITMENT (3) will appreciate tackling easier company and may look to push forward from a sticky draw over the longer trip. Can give this a big shake if Grace is positive early doors. ALLEGEDLY (5) was less effective last time but should find this a bit easier and is a track and trip specialist. Jumping from the car park, so expect him to drift back and be charging late as well. TITAN RISING (2) was much better second-up when finding midfield at Murray Bridge. Is open to further improvement but is another that is drawn awfully. BELLE FROM HELL (10) has been mixing her form but backs up quickly from one of her better runs this prep when closing off well at Murray Bridge. Is another that will appreciate a genuine tempo. SUGGESTED PLAY: Unwind to reel them in.
