Solid tempo headed by Allez Allez and Lord Gannicus. DESENNEA (1) wasn't far away when closing off well over 1400m last time out and looks primed for this race. Now third-up and out to the mile with Pike on board from a good gate. Trending the right way and he ticks plenty of boxes in the last. LORD GANNICUS (2) was too classy in the Narrogin Cup last time out but was very effective over this trip prior to that win. Form out of his last run at this track and distance two back makes for good reading. Classy animal who'll give a good sight from the front. SOWAR (6) ran over the top to score here a week ago and drops back in trip slightly. He's always around the mark and he has gone close on the quick turnaround previously. Should be in the finish again. CATCH THESE HANDS (5) disappointed here two back but won well at Albany last start. Inside draw helps his chances. STRIKE NOW (4) closed off well fresh and can run an improved race out in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Desennea in the last.
