Pace looks sure to be genuine with Lord Domino and Vagabond Hero matching motors, closely followed by Biden Time. SOUND OF JURA (3) drew wide and came from the back when winning a 64 here over this trip and there was plenty of merit in the effort. The 1.5kg claim helps and stripping fitter he should go close. VAGABOND HERO (4) is third-up seeking the hat-trick off spacious synthetic wins. Just has to bring that form for the turf to feature and John Allen sticks aboard. SMART POPPY (1) brings strong form from the synthetic and tumbles in grade with a 4kg claimer booked. He also deserves plenty of consideration. BIDEN TIME (6) will be more competitive than the form line suggests. He's been racing in better grade and has the blinkers on again. He won his only start here by 5L in a 58 over 1405m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Sound Of Jura.
