ACOUSTIC AVE (1) Did well to place 2nd beaten by 4L last start at this track and hard to fault at this distance. Racing consistently this preparation and drawn beautifully. This field suits. AMUNDSON (6) Just average when 6th last time here. Capable of bouncing back but racing against tougher rivals. Should muster plenty of early toe. Flavien Prat takes the reins today. Hard to overlook. STEWIE (3) Flew home to win last start around here but up against stronger competition. Jockey Jr Ricardo Santana and trainer James Bentley Begg link up well. Has plenty of early speed. Fights on bravely so consider. LOST IN ROME (5) Moderate showing when 5th last time at the track. One of the hopes.
