The pace looks strong from the outset. GO GRAYSON GO (9) ran a string of minor placings before breaking through for an effortless win here last time. Winning rider stays aboard and expected to feature again. PIONEER SQUARE (11) is another in great form, with two wins and two seconds from four this time in. First try this trip but won by a space last time at the mile. CORRUPT (3) resumed over 2400m here and was beaten in a photo. Did win only other try second-up and surely fitter again. JOHNNY THE THIEF (4) finished last campaign with a fourth in stakes class. Goes well here and at the trip and has also won fresh.
