They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. Open race to close out the card. LUMENS LENNY (2) has been racing consistently this preparation hitting the top-five in all six outings. Goes well at this circuit with a win and three seconds from just five starts and will be at peak fitness for this. Should be right there when the judge calls a halt. BEEN A SECRET (5) has a handy record over this distance range only missing a drum once in six starts. Rarely puts in a poor one and will take some running down. The well-related SIR CARTER (1) (half to G2 winner Oak Door) strips fitter third-up and looks a genuine top-three candidate. PIREONTI (10) gets 3kg off and may run a race while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 2,5,1.
