Looks a tactical race on paper with no early speed evident. The Group 2 Lee Steere and ZIPAWAY (8) goes on top first-up. He didn't run last week, but lines up today from a beautiful alley and first-up figures good enough to feature in the finish. He's looked good at the trials coming into this and if he can pick up where he left off his 3YO campaign, he'll take beating. MAGNIFICENT ANDY (7) was very good from the back in the Eurythmic 21 days ago and draws the inside once again. He may need some luck from the draw, but he's in top order and if the breaks come, he's expected to be right in the finish. BUSTLER (2) was only fair first-up, but was a long way back and never really got into the race. This sets up much nicer for him today and it wouldn't surprise to see him right in the finish. SEARCHIN' ROC'S (11) goes well on the fresh side and while she has drawn out, her best is good enough to feature in a race like this. COMFORT ME (4) was too good in the Eurythmic first-up and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Zipaway in the Lee Steere Stakes.
