Solid tempo anticipated with Seeking To Win heading them off. STEP QUICK (2) races forward and was only beaten 2.3L at Hawkesbury second-up. That's good form for a country Maiden, and he's on a 7-day return. Maps to advantage and has a handy 2kg claim. FALKLAND (1) resumes for the Beer yard and owns a sharp Kembla Grange trial. He's been gelded and has the first-time blinkers applied. A bold run is on the cards. SEEKING TO WIN (4) resumes. She's speedy and will be suited around here. Good enough to make the finish. CHIONE (6) is a local presenting first-up who has trialled okay at Canberra. Budler sticks from that, and the stable can spring a surprise. Keep onside. BUBBLE TEA (5) is capable but has been disappointing. Has the tongue tie on for the first time and benefits from a 2kg claim. She may show more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Step Quick with the race form/fitness.
