AU - Eagle Farm - Race 2

PECCAVI (9) was a smart winner here at the midweeks when stretching to this trip fourth-up. Looks to have turned a page and can keep the ball rolling. HOT MAJESTY (4) is an obvious danger, coming off an odds-on Ipswich win over 1 ³/16m when leading all the way. Suspect they push forward again on him to give a sight, and Newman's 7lbs claim helps offset the big weight. HARD EVIDENCE (7) has upside second-up for Chris Waller and Ryan Maloney. Only warmed into late here when resuming and will appreciate stepping out to this sort of trip with firmer footing. Draw should have him closer and he's right in the mix. ROCHEDALE HERO (6) has been highly consistent this prep and deserves respect. Just has to run the trip. CANTARITO (8) possesses a strong turn of foot on his day and can make his presence felt late if the pace is genuine.
