Little Richie Turf has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SURPERB FROST (4) is desperate to land another winning blow after charging home to just miss in his past two. If Spain can make full use of the inside draw he will be very hard to stop again. MONTE CASSINO (5) continues to leave himself with too much to do but is edging closer. He drops back to the mile off a month between runs and can cause a headache late if the tempo is genuine. HOLA AMIGOS (1) doesn't win out of turn but is knocking on the door and should relish rising to the mile. Another who will be strong late. GYMKHANA (3) is worth thought at longer odds after a tidy win at Geelong. Not dismissing him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Surperb Frost to win.
