Without a recognised leader, Risk Assessment and Rudimentary will likely set the pace. LORD AKOMEED (2) just missed here and then again at Port Macquarie. He races forward and is on a 7-day return. He can go one better. FRENCHBURG (8) hasn't run out a mile at her last two, but her sprint form prior stacks right up. A sharper effort is anticipated. RISK ASSESSMENT (3) switched from the Gollan yard in Brisbane and freshened got too far back here on the heavy track. She had support, and stripping fitter, can get into the finish. WELCOME BACK (7) will be more competitive than the form-line suggests, and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Lord Akomeed.
