Expecting Dashing to set a strong early tempo. Tough race. MILFORD (3) has come back well and can atone for last start. He was a surprise winner two back over a mile at Flemington and didn't have the best of luck last start when out to this trip. Maps for a soft run here and might be better suited at this trip over a few rivals. SMOKIN' ROMANS (1) has been good at his past two and should be ready to peak getting to 2000m. He is a Group 1 winner over this trip and will take catching with the 3kg claim. FOUJITA SAN (9) ran on strongly to score out to this track and trip last start. Bit more depth here and likely to get a long way back again is the query, but he'll be hard to hold out. DASHING (4) is racing very well but 2000m has to be some query. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Milford & Smokin' Romans.
