Big Blue Spirit has never run a bad race and has tactical speed to be in close striking range, a necessity on a strip that is again playing increasingly kind to speed. Malibu Way is first time as a 4yo for brilliant layoff conditioner in Clement and 15-1 Perfect Tay showed how potent ‘first time 4yo’ can be in last. Stakes veteran Hollinger gets class relief. Tricky Hat can win returning to December effort while reuniting with Rosario. Terrific race..

Great edition of this and another indication that we’re going to have a spirited elder male division this year. Returning Alternation has his work cut out for him from the #10 hole. A lot of viable, well-priced options to consider as alternatives..

Seems fashionable to try and countermand Flashback aura, but hard to argue with first pair of efforts and ongoing praise for morning machinations. Same can be said for Goldencents whose lone miscue remains the applaudable Champagne try. Unless these two link up in foolhardy duel, hard to gleefully embrace the other options..
