Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Swing State and Archie Maximus. The well-related SWING STATE (8) (half to G2 winner In Good Order) broke the maiden status in town last time out and winning rider Guthmann-Chester sticks in the stirrups. Looks the runner in this field with the most upside and can go right on with the job now. GOLDEN MIKKI (4) has a handy record over this distance range with a win and three placings from seven attempts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Can make his presence felt. BRUCKHEIMER (1) loves it here on his home circuit with two wins and two seconds from five starts and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Top-three contender. HIDDEN FUTURE (18) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on her day. Keep very safe. WILDSPITZE (22) next best from the Sears yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swing State to win again.
