CITY ESCAPE (3) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in her past five starts. Last time out she finished second over 1900m at this track. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. STRATEGIC FORTUNE (5) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 2500m at Newcastle All Weather. Has a solid record here over this journey, winning on three occasions from 12 outings. Well placed and should be tough to beat. MY BROTHER MIKE (1) started at $9 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing seventh over 1900m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. PORT NOIR (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1900m at this track. Suitably placed so she can figure again.
