Rockin' Millie and Play My Song to set a strong early tempo. BROADWAY BOUNCER (5) indicated a win was imminent when he motored late from well back to finish a close-up second over 1100m at this track on March 9. Claim helps again and at his top for this. Go close. UNWRITTEN (7) tough gelding who should relish the 3kg claim after sticking on well with the 59kg when fifth over 1200m at Newcastle on March 8. Fitter now but drawn out again. SOOBOOCO (6) underrated gelding who returns from a spell of three months. Finished behind some promising types last time in and since fitted with a recent trial placing on February 28. Has the ability to finish over the top of these. ROCKIN' MILLIE (9) returned from a seven-month spell as favourite when a dominant on pace winner over 1000m at Gosford on February 24. Has upside and ready to tackle this company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,7,6,9.
