Hot pace certain with Caladan, I Am Piki and Up The Den keen to take up the running. CALADAN (1) has been flying this campaign and wasn't disgraced in a high-rating race last start. He can take control here and will be hard to beat. He's the top seed. BLANC VISAGE (9) caught the eye first-up and her record suggests she will improve second-up. She's drawn to track the speed and will have the last crack. PURFECT LINE (12) keeps racing well and this is potentially an easier assignment than last start. He's an each-way prospect. Respect the winning form of ALOHA BLUE (15) who can run a cheeky race up in grade, while TAKING OMAHA (8) is well placed to run well but might need the hitout. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Caladan to win.
