The Fruitologist and Stromboli Delight possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. AUTUMN GALE (2) is a consistent conveyance who is yet to miss the top-four in six outings to date and looks ready for the step-up in trip now. Only needs some luck navigating from the sticky alley to be playing a major role in the finish. REMEMBER THE BOYS (3) boasts a win and two seconds from five spins around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this. No reason why he cannot find winning ways. Former Victorian RED FEATHERS (11) is having her first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what she faced down south. Keep very safe. THE FRUITOLOGIST (8) has a win and a second from two starts to date, draws the inside alley and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. In the mix. The well-related LUXOR PRINCE (10) (half to 2xG3 winner and 2xG2 placed Egyptian Symbol) next in line in an open race to close out the card. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,3,11,8.
