Lavender Bay, Daimyo and Triple Time to vie for early honours at a solid tempo. They all had their chance to beat HOLDING THUMBS (4) who carried the big weight last time but couldn't. Building a superb record this course and distance and drops in weight from the last start win here. The one to beat again. AHEAD OF THE FACTS (8) was runner-up behind him and is worse off at the weights but does have some upside and also a good record course and distance. Definite danger again. TRIPLE TIME (5) ran third in the same race and does meet the top two slightly better off. Has be be included again. MASTER OF PARIS (7) has placed only try course and distance. Last-start winner who can measure up again.
