Rulership, Surjay and Quantum Theory to take up the running at a decent tempo. SURJAY (2) is better than his last start run would suggest. He returns from a spell which would have done him the world of good. His previous form was consistent. He has plenty of class about him and if suited to this course he should be the one to beat. LUCKY LAD (3) stayed on well when finishing second last time. He is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance. He gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep his mind on the task at hand. RULERSHIP (1) stayed on when third of 10 last time. He has won twice and finished third twice from five starts on this course. He is having his peak run and has solid each-way claims. WINTER GREETING (10) won first up at Greyville and should race on the speed, rates well as a leading chance.
