Verdict

HANCHI (2) missed the start in the Golden Saddle but still ran strongly over 6f in that feature event. Back to this course and distance looks a big tick however, particularly from an inside barrier. Can sit handy from the barrier and looks ready to go to the next level. KAY TEE WHY (5) was very impressive last start when rounding up his rivals in fine style, scoring by 0.8L. He peaked third-up last campaign and looks ready to do so again with Pike remaining in the saddle. Will let the race unfold in front of him before launching a strong attack late. SILVER EYE (6) couldn't fend off Kay Tee Why last start after a disappointing performance two back. Getting away from the inside looks a good move this time around and it wouldn't surprise to see him come out on top. CUT THE TALK (4) is racing in good order and can improve again third-up into the campaign. ALL PLAY (7) was just fair last start when well supported. Open to improvement now.
