Solid tempo set by Flight Engineer and Rhythm. SLASH 'N BURN (5) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1200m at Fairview All Weather when returning from a spell. Should be winding up late again. Progressive type who is a strong winning chance. RHYTHM (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1200m at Fairview All Weather, clocking in 1.75 lengths from the winner as favourite. Will be hard to beat. OVERTURE (1) resumes after a break of four months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1200m at this track. Likely to take beating. RHYDIAN (7) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at Fairview All Weather, finishing second and beaten a nose. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
