Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

A slick tempo on the cards with Wuhan Warrior and Simple Logic battling for the lead ahead of Mega Reward and Forest War. SIMPLE LOGIC (2) has been mixing his form of late but was a winner on the Scarpside here two back. On the quick back-up but maps beautifully from the inside and rates highly off the last couple of efforts. Can get the job done. WUHAN WARRIOR (7) was a strong winner first-up when holding on for victory at Narrogin. He does tend to dip second-up which is a niggle, but he's on the quick back-up today and he drops right in weight. Can work to the front and take plenty of catching. FOREST WAR (5) is better than he showed last start, winning over 1300m here two starts ago. Can sit just off the speed from a favourable alley and is sure to be strong late if the leader's overdo things. SPEED DREAM (1) comes into this without a trial but his form at the end of last campaign holds him in good stead. Include. SEMIGEL (6) won't be far away if he handles the quick turnaround. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Simple Logic.
