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

Moderate tempo expected with Detrimental likely to find the front over Too Hot To Torque and Possibilities. SHELSTEIN (4) was well supported when resuming at Eagle Farm but didn't measure up on that occasion. Will have come on with that run now under the belt and has placed three of four over this distance range. Respect out of the Archibald camp. LAND BANK (8) strips fitter second-up from the break and winning rider Thompson reunites in the saddle. Include from the low draw. ARTFUL PERSUASION (6) is improving with racing this preparation and gets some weight relief with the 1.5kg claim. Top-three aspirations. The well-related WARNA (7) (half to G2 winner Count De Rupee) saves his best form for this trip and will be rock-hard fit for this contest. In the mix. FLAXLANDS (13) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Shelstein.
