Pisa Cake should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. The consistent SCHOLL DEEP (2) has been racing well at the provincials, most recently picking up late ground to finish fourth over this distance at Newcastle. Raced here once and scored over this trip last prep. Ideally drawn so back in this company he should prove too classy. PISA CAKE (6) won narrowly on debut then battled on fairly to be beaten just 1.3 lengths last time out over 1305m at Tuncurry. On-pacer who has plenty of scope for improvement and is sure to give backers a sight. CHEAP GAS (1) started in the red and just prevailed when returning from a ten-week break over 1100m at Wellington recently. Sparingly raced three-year-old who should hold that form. Hard to see the winner coming outside this trio. THUNDOZER (14) struggled in the mud first-up at Muswellbrook. Can improve and fill a minor prize. ST ROY (10) ran a better race last time and is also a top-four hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Scholl Deep to win the last.
