Strong early tempo assured with Whitten, Assertin Lady and Gotta Beat locking horns. DESARMER (1) was put aside after winning his first start in the area since moving from Victoria earlier in the season. His freshen-up would have done him no harm and he won't find this much harder. Go again. WHITTEN (2) has been racing well and has the fitness edge over the top pick. 1300 metres might be at the top of his range but he is still capable of figuring in the finish again. NASSAU COUNTY (5) finished third fresh up here nearly 3 weeks ago and went close to breaking through when trained in Queensland. He has 4-kilos less to carry this time and even though he is still a maiden, he can run into the money again. MEANT FOR MARS (7) is another maiden who is racing in good heart. He was third in a similar class last time out and should be thereabouts again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Desarmer to win.
