Without on-pacers engaged it may turn into a sprint home. CONVO (10) is finding it hard to win, but it's hard to fault the form this preparation. She's had six starts and hasn't finished further back than fifth, which was last start in 66 grade. Drops back to 62 company here, draws well and regains John Allen, who had a good association with her mum Kenedna. LE TROISIR (1) was below his best last time out when beaten 4.5 lengths over 2000m at Pakenham. Better for the run at that trip though and should be ready to fire fourth-up. MOZU MARCASSIN (2) is another who's racing well but struggling to break through and while he's got out beyond this trip already this prep, the blinkers go on here which could sharpen him up. PROSHOW (3) finished third last start over 1627m at Sale when he worked home well, beaten 7 lengths. This is the right race and can find winning form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Convo each-way.
