Solid pace with Shiny New Deel finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. Very competitive. There wasn't much between PERFECT TEN (8) and ORAQUA (10) when they met at Sandown Lakeside on July 1st. Perfect Ten started a warm favourite there, Oraqua won by a long neck as a $19 hope. Perfect Ten has since won, Oraqua certainly didn't go backwards with a big finish for third in Sydney. Perfect Ten maps better which could be key. ZORRO'S FLIGHT (13) looks a strong danger. He's always had ability but has really come up well, winning 2/4 this time in and runner-up in the other two. He was dominant at Sale last time and can go on with it. CENSORI (12) has won two on the bounce on heavy ground and has to included again, especially if wet. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perfect Ten on top.
