Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Eye Candy and Greenwich. LOUGH ESKE (5) is a former Sydney-trained gelding who hit the line strongly for third fresh up at Tauranga just over 3 weeks ago. He strips fitter, and with an extra 100m to travel, he can take this out. EYE CANDY (6) ended her 3-year-old campaign in some hot fields and resumes from a spell with a couple of tune-up trials under her belt. This trip will be short of her best, but watch for her to be warming up late down the long final straight here. Include in all combinations. DUDADAY (4) showed promise last season and has been taken along quietly as a lightly tried 5-year-old gelding. He won a recent trial very easily, and from a good draw, he can't be ruled out of winning this. ZIGGY STARDUST (7) has finished fourth in all 3 starts and will benefit from a 3kg this time. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eye Candy each way.
