Plenty of pressure with Atticus Finch, Musical Score and Tamarisk Tree leading the charge. OLIVIA'S WAY (8) was given a gun ride when winning last time. She has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. Well placed to go back-to-back. MUSICAL SCORE (3) is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over 1400m on this course. He should have no issues with the rise to 1800m and he can bring up the hat-trick. IMMEDIATE EDGE (9) was running on well when second over 1400m last time. He will love the rise to 1800m and from his good draw of two, he is capable of fighting out the finish. ATTICUS FINCH (1) is better than his last start run over 1400m on this course would suggest. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from as many starts over this course and distance. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his wide draw and he storming home late.
