|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo set by Treasureflight and Blakmax. SHIDAN (12) is coming off a dominant win last start at Pakenham when sitting off a good tempo, coming right away to score by 4 lengths. This is a bit tougher but he looks set to go on with it. TREASUREFLIGHT (10) made great improvement second up here when dominating his rivals in easier company. He'll push right on and if left alone he'll take catching again. INHERENTLY (9) is racing well without winning this time in, good in the Country Mile Final at Caulfield last time. Back to 1400m is no issue, he'll be hard to hold out. FLYING MIKKI (2) has been largely going well this time in without quite winning. He maps for a soft trail and has each way claims. FIRE TRIBE (8) maybe next best in an open race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shidan on top.
