Looming strongly along the passing lane here last week, WHIRLWIND WILBUR (8) was just a pimple short of victory. If the gap opened sooner, the result may have been different and his run three back behind the flying NELLIE JOY was enough that he can capitalise here.

ILLUSORY FEAT (3) burrowed through from gate 1 to set the speed last time out and was trying to see them off when reeled in over the closing stages. Dictating from the front to score three runs back, she has the early speed to get across and throw it down.

FLASH KYVALLEY (5) was beaten by gate 7 last time when retreating early and then unable to get warm when finishing midfield. Grabbing the bronze from a 30m tape the start prior, he has claims.

CASCATA (2) struck trouble last start which ended her chances. A tough effort when just behind the money as IVANKA scored the start prior, she can do things wrong but can feature if putting it together.

SELECTIONS: WHIRLWIND WILBUR (8), ILLUSORY FEAT (3), FLASH KYVALLEY (5), CASCATA (2)
SUGGESTED BET: WHIRLWIND WILBUR (8) to win
