Hot pace certain with Happy Fat Cat, Dragon Four Seas and Sir Charge keen to take up the running. STORM RIDER (1) was simply dominant last start as he picked up his rivals and spat them out, winning by 3.5L at this track and trip last time out as favourite. It's hard to ignore what he did there and he only rises 2.5kg for the win. Maps beautifully once again and can repeat the dose. EVERSTAR (12) landed in a handy spot and had his chance last start at this track and trip but couldn't match the winner. This shapes similarly for him and his recent form stacks up well as he remains down in the weights. Can play a leading role once again. YOUNG ARROW (11) won narrowly last start as the $2.60 favourite and drops 7kg as he rises in grade. The last start win rates highly and if he can run up to that performance, he'll go close. STORMING DRAGON (10) is likely to get back in the run again but he finished off strongly behind Storm Rider last time out. Watch for him late in the race.
