Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. WOLFBURN (5) made light work of his rivals here in a similar field 5 weeks ago when scoring by over 3 lengths. He is headed for the top and with 2 kilos less to carry this time, he can complete a hat-trick of wins. NOIR DE RUE (1) has been a wonderful performer in this area for a long time and has not missed a cheque in 5 starts here over the trip, including 3 wins. He needed his fresh-up run a fortnight ago and is expected to improve quickly in this, despite his big weight. VENTING (4) had a very hard trip fresh up and still kept on kicking off a wide run to finish third. With some better luck this time, he can go close to taking it out. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SACCHARO (3) just battled fresh up but he usually takes a run before hitting his straps. He is nicely placed in this and only needs the right run to be the biggest threat to the top pick. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wolfburn to win.
