SCHWARZ (1) will start a short-priced favourite after a dominant 23.5-metre victory in very sharp time over the middle distance last start. Back to the mile here, he looks capable of running a sub-1:55 mile and, if he does, will prove extremely hard to run down. ATOMIC BLACK (2) has put together a very handy record since arriving in Tasmania and battled on well after doing the work outside the expected favourite throughout last start. He looks likely to face a similar task here unless he can slot onto the leader's back shortly after the start, which would significantly enhance his chances. INTO THE HARKNESS (3) may press forward early and allow ATOMIC BLACK (2) to secure the one-out, one-back position. The remaining front-row runners are likely to be driven more conservatively from their wider draws. HAMMER DAN (8) gets an ideal trailing draw behind the favourite and should have every opportunity to run into the placings, particularly back over the mile, which suits him well. MONTGOMERY BURNS (10) could be the value runner to fill a placing after finishing off strongly in recent starts and has an excellent record over the mile when driven with cover. BARBERSHOP (5) is the first emergency for the Beautide feature, but if he takes his place here, the awkward draw over the mile will make it very difficult for him to find a forward position in what is expected to be a fast-run race.Selections: SCHWARZ (1), ATOMIC BLACK (2), HAMMER DAN (8), MONTGOMERY BURNS (10)
