Without a great deal of early pace evident O'ziggy may lead the way over Ravalawa. O'ZIGGY (5) was a beaten favourite here fresh up nearly 3 weeks ago where he made a nice move into the race before the turn but failed to finish his run-off and looked in need of the hit-out. He strips fitter and drops in class for this so is worth another chance. Follow your money. BOBBY SHIRAZ (3) is a stablemate of the top pick and gives the Bjorn Baker a strong hand in the race. A wide draw was no help to him last time out and he will relish the extra furlong on offer here. Stick with him with a drop back in grade and include in all combinations. MARENARO (4) has changed stables since his last run and a move to a country stable could be the making of this gelding. The motor is there and with the right run, he can figure in the finish. Watch the market moves. PINE VALLEY (7) ran non nicely last time out and is worth including in all multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Marenaro each-way.
