Plenty of pace from the outset with Speed Map and Hermanita leading the charge. It's time for the Cup! BODHI BOY (1) didn't give them a sniff in the Maclean Cup when leading pillar-to-post under Nick Heywood. Has more to offer fourth-up and should give backers another but the extra weight could bring him undone. DEEP RESPECT (3) finds a much more suitable assignment here and should be blending into it nicely at the turn. The form around him reads very well for this. HERMANITA (4) is yet to fire this time in but strips fitter third-up and has peaks that can give this a shake. Worth another look. AWAYGOESTHEBUNNY (8) has left himself with too much ground to bridge in both runs back but has been warming late. If the pace is hot he could cause a late scare. SUGGESTED PLAY: Win with Deep Respect.
