Genuine tempo with Back To Bondi kicking up on the inside with Articole working over from the wide draw. ARTICOLE (1) made it back-to-back wins to begin the campaign and getting out to 1400m now can see him raise the bar again. He possesses good early speed, so Fiore can offset the wide draw. The form out of his last couple has been good and with there appearing to be more under the bonnet, he can bring up the hat-trick. REFEMME NO ANGEL (3) was very impressive as the race favourite over 1200m fresh and Pike remains in the irons. Drawn further out this time, but he's a classy customer on the way through. Form out of his last start has been good and he can go back-to-back. OCEAN RANGER (12) missed narrowly first-up before getting the job done in a photo finish last start over 1685m. Now comes back in trip, but he is off a 31 day freshen. Can feature in the finish. MILITARY JANE (10) can't be left out of calculations with her recent form. MAIN ACT (4) can improve on the first-up effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Articole goes on top in the last.
