SHOOTING TO TOP (3) was lining up for only the third time when he recorded a tough win in a similar race to this three weeks ago. Responded well to being ridden more positively on that occasion. Plenty of improvement in the locker so another win is in reach. HARMONY GALAXY (1) broke a run of outs with a narrow win over 1800m at this track last time out. Twice a Gr 1 placegetter in his Hay Day so he has the class to test this line-up. RUN RUN TIMING (10) continued his long run of fine form when beaten under a length over this course and distance most recently. Will run along in front and give them something to catch. TAKE ACTION (6) has been mixing his form. Draws the fence and Bowman rides for the first time so might be worth another chance. VIVA FIRECRACKER (12) ran a better race over this evening's course and distance last start and is worth some though down in the weights.
