Hobelar to take up the running with Blue Rocket and Sesh close at hand. HOBELAR (2) led them up fresh and got the job done by 0.4L in a similar race over 1100m at this track. Chris Parnham takes the ride now and he's expected to have come on with that run under his belt. Drawn to get every chance once again and he can bring up back-to-back wins. BLUE ROCKET (1) just missed over 1000m fresh in stronger company and that laid the foundations for a strong upcoming campaign. She's spent a lot of her time in stronger races than this and she's well weighted after the claim of ZJP. Can stalk the speed and return to winning ways. GINGERQUEST (3) made it back-to-back wins at Albany last start when scoring in a photo finish. The figures he put up there are strong and while this is tougher, he's expected to be right there at the business end. SESH (4) got the job done at Bunbury 13 days ago and can build on that performance. MAIN ACT (5) is still a maiden but comes here off a freshen and drops back in trip. Not out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hobelar can go on with the job.
