Moderate pace with Rail Trail taking up the running ahead of Navy Steel and Curly Bend. RAIL TRAIL (5) lightly raced gelding with upside. Closed off strongly at his first run back when a narrow second over 1000m at Scone. Further improved now and finds a winnable race. Goes close. CURLY BEND (8) another resuming with sound credentials. Came to the end of her prep when a plugging fourth over 1100m at Coonamble. Capable of going on with it this prep. NAVY STEEL (4) wasn't far away in both runs last prep and returns with a slick 1000m trial win under his belt. Look for him late from the draw. UNDER ACHIEVER (2) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rail Trail to win.
