Slick tempo established by the fleet-footed trio Carbrook, Spiritchaser and Carry My Money. SPIRITCHASER (1) Matt Dunn-trained mare resuming after a break of five-and-a-half months. Showed her ability on the provincial circuit last time in and has since been fitted with two sharp trials. Has the figures to take this out first-up from the good draw. MORE ELEMENTS (5) is another from the Matt Dunn yard resuming. Showed potential last time in and looks forward enough for this with two 1050m trials under his belt. Expected to sprint well fresh. CARBROOK (2) six-start maiden with his hoof on the till. Anchored with the big weight when ran on late to finish fourth over 1030m here on April 9. Claim helps and will need a bit of luck from the gate. WEE KAHUNA (11) showed ability last time in and resumes today from the good draw. Finished fourth in a recent 946m trial at Grafton on April 14. Can play a leading role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spiritchaser to win.
