Expecting Darci Diva to be leading the charge. MR MOPPETT (2) is back in the right grade after failing to get into the contest when 17th over 1100m at Flemington in BM78 grade on March 30. Undefeated at this track and expected to return to form today. AKAKA FALLS (3) sound return from a spell with the 3kg claim when charged late to score a 1.1 len victory over 900m at Newcastle on March 2. Clearly comes back well and looks good each-way value. BRIEF STATEMENT (8) useful mare who saves her best for this course and distance. Powered late when an eye-catching third over 900m at Wellington in BM66 company on April 14. Senior rider on and has top-three prospects. SMOKESHOW (7) first-up after four months had no luck from the wide draw when last over 1000m at Canberra in a TAB Fed Open on March 20. Fitter now and softer gate suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Moppett to win.
