OUR PALADIN AL (6) continues to hint he's an above average galloper, sticking on boldly to finish 0.9L off the winner over the mile 16 days ago. Now out to 1800m which won't be an issue and he maps for a perfect run along the inside. Nottle's 3kg claim comes in handy and he can go one better. FLY WITH CAUTION (3) steps out in trip third-up after finishing behind Our Paladin Al last time out. It's been a while between wins, but he's hitting this peak now third-up after a long break. Should be close to the speed and can get back to winning ways. BATTLE COMMANDER (7) led and kicked away to beat Our Paladin Al last start over the mile. He steps back out to 1800m which is the query, though he should be able to dictate the tempo from his barrier. Will be hard to run down if he gets it all his own way again. OUR NEMESIS (5) will find this tougher, but has to be included on recent form. ARCADIA PARK (2) can improve on the solid first-up effort with CJP back on board.

    Form hard to fault. Last start won by 0.9 len at this track Rtg 70+ January 1 over 1600m defeating Our Paladin Al with 56kg at $8. The start before that led but faded 3rd of 14 at this track W/Speed Mile on December 20 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Auto Cruise carrying 55kg at $9. Up in trip now, but he's racing in top order and will be hard to catch if he can dictate.
