Tough race. Centres on EXCELTRAIN (1) running a mile. Led throughout to score last time and is going well but yet to score over the extra ground. Has Pike back aboard and the inside draw and with plenty of other speed in the race suspect he'll stalk the pace. Should take beating again. ODINAKA (10) is a super consistent galloper who was a winner three back then placed last two. Less weight here and deserves another win. LITTLE SILVER (9) was fifth behind Exceltrain last time and meets him a couple of kilos better. Tricky gate and expected to roll forward and can give a sight. PROPHET AND POWER (2) wasn't disgraced fresh over 1400m off a long break. Has good speed and should feature over the mile. OTHERONESON (7) has been mixing form and its been an age since a win but did score only try this course and distance. Could be overs.
