No standouts in this smallish field. Presume DETERMINATO failed to stay 2007m last time. The soft 7 was offered as an excuse but he had placed in those conditions last prep. Back to 1600m looks the key. KING TAGALOA resumes. He has mixed his form but think it's fair to say a career best was here 1600m. Like the quick back up for OBON from Wednesday where he ran ok. Blinkers are back on. Thought REEL DEADLY had jumped out well enough to win before Moe. He was very plain. Moe heavy 10 can be tough. He was on pace in his jump outs unlike Moe. Improvement is likely. RUSSIIAN FIREBIRD will have to lift from prep one but he is jumping out ok. SKY DEEL strips fitter for a fair return on testing ground. He ran well here 2nd up last time in over 1600m. EXPANDING POWER had tempo/race shape against at Sale. She's going well.
