Genuine tempo with Play On Words leading the way. RUNWAY RULER (4) led and ran his best race when winning comfortably this trip at Horsham. Keeps the 1.5kg claim and will be fitter again. He can take the next step. KATIM'S CLUB (3) had an excuse in stronger at Murray Bridge, but his form prior in SA stacks right up. Will likely push forward and is a winning hope. TURF TWO (8) is an improver from the Payne yard and is likely to take a sit today. She also rates a chance. SURFY PETE (5) was much better at Hamilton out to this distance. Has weight relief and maps well. WHISKEY HANGOVER (7) is also third-up and has pieces of form that would see him very competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Runway Ruler.
