Tricky race but inclined to give MUNHAMEK (3) a good each way hope. He got to 1600m last start at Flemington but was unsuited by a ridiculously slow tempo, beaten a long neck in a dash to the line. He should get a far more genuine speed to run at here and drops 3.5kg from that. WINGS OF SONG (9) led them up in that slowly run Flemington race, sticking on for a very narrow second. She's got a great winning record and should be fighting out the finish again. CHORLTON LANE (4) is consistent but his racing pattern has perhaps cost him a couple of wins. He found the line well again last time, and is interestingly drawn barrier 1 for the third time in a row, which probably isn't ideal for him. MARBLE ARCH (11) won the slowly run lead up and the 2kg rise in weight is offset by Jamie Melham taking the ride. She should prove hard to beat again. BUFFALO RIVER (6) will give them something to catch but 1600m remains a query.
