Solid tempo with The Specialist to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. PENNSYLVANIA (4) was a winner two back then just missed last time here over 1200m. Has a strong record at the trip, placed 2/3 course and distance and expected to go close again. SILVER TUDOR (2) is a super consistent type freshened since a placing here over 1000m. Better placed here and on strong record course and distance should feature again. ROAMING SPIRIT (6) resumed from a break with a determined win fresh and has good upside. This harder but attractively weighted and can go close again. PASSAGE OF POWER (5) is better than last start. Aided by the claim and the apprentice already has two wins while aboard. Right in the mix.
