Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Ikasara. Tough race. BEHAVIOUR (10) looks suited getting to 1200m third up. He's been getting too far back over 1000m but did hit the line strongly last time at Sandown Lakeside to be beaten just a long neck. The wide draw down the straight should suit nicely. RUE DE ROYALE (1) notched up his second career win over this route last time out, surging clear along the inside fence on New Year's Eve to score narrowly. He might be able to go on with it. TANGANYIKA (11) comes over from New Zealand, now with team Hayes. He's a handy sort suited this level, watch the late betting. MYTEMPTATION (3) is consistent without winning, good in this grade at Caulfield Heath last time. He should give a sight. MERCURIAL LADY (12) dropped back to this trip at Sandown Lakeside and proved too tough. She can prove hard to get by once more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Behaviour on top.
