ROADCONE (5) is in rare form and looks the one to beat again. He was dominant at Pakenham two back and went right on with it here last start, ridden aggressively by Luke Cartwright to put a margin on his rivals which he never looked like relinquishing. Similar tactics will surely be adopted here and he may just run them into the ground once more. AZTEC STATE (3) can run a good race while fresh. The 1600m is an ideal kick off point fro him having been good over 1400m first up last time in. He certainly has the class to be figuring. HIYAAM PROUD (6) was a bit disappointing fresh in Sydney on wet ground but should strip much fitter for that and her form around Oh Too Good last preparation reads very well. NATION'S CALL (7) should be ready to fire now third up off two even runs. CHAKADO (9) is flying and hard to knock.
