Good pressure from the outset with Jotopeli, Weekend Artist and Sea Warning taking up the running over Unique Elle and Prestige Ice. PRESTIGE ICE (12) has been well in the betting at the past couple of outings and hasn't been too far away. Will be at peak fitness for this and where there's smoke there's fire. Likely improver with strong winning prospects. ALFA DUNDEE (9) has hit a purple patch this preparation with a win and three placings from four starts. Only needs some luck from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the finish. NOTES (8) has been thereabouts in both runs since joining the new stable and strikes a very winnable contest here. Top-three commodity. READY TO DRINK (13) gets in well at the weights with the 1.5kg claim and may earn some minor money. The well-related WEEKEND ARTIST (5) (half to G3 winner and G2 placed I'm All The Talk) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prestige Ice to salute.
