Speed to come from Vouch For Me and Kapstar. Taking a risk here but have landed on the wide draws. VOUCH FOR ME always shows speed and if he runs in this can get over. He keeps improving and is bred to run it out. ONLY CHOICE has found Highway Hcp company too tough lately so this is easier. He battled away well at Wagga and think the added 100m is only a bonus. ALLENA keeps putting herself into the finish without winning. Probably does it again. PARK CHINOIS has to go back but now gets Jeff Lloyd up. One to watch with any rain. REAL STING has place prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vouch For Me for the win.
