Strong tempo primarily from Benevento, Revved Up Ready and Yalla over Metal Bar and The Last Crusade. Good race but sticking with TESTATOR SILENS (1) who is unbeaten in two runs since stepping to a mile, winning both with ease by leading throughout. Hard to knock the recent form and will take catching again. CACOFONIX (4) had his first start for a new yard in the deep end at Birdsville and ran well off best, eased down. The start prior was midfield in the even richer Darwin Cup. Has the ability and no surprise to see a return to form here. DIVINE OKAY (2) was midfield in the same race at Birdsville then dropped in grade and was far too good latest. Looks one of the better hopes again. METAL BAR (5) was well off best last time but has a great record here and gets a chance to atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Testator Silens.
