A solid tempo is on the cards with Future Soldier and Brave Apache pushing for the lead ahead of Renege and Snowball. COOL CHARLIE (2) is a leader who peaks off two Bendigo placings. He handles this surface and finds the right race. LONG REIGN (12) debuts for the McEvoy yard and won a recent jump-out. The filly sits at the bottom of the handicap, and the stable strikes at 35% at the track. A winning hope with average luck in transit. RENEGE (7) switched from James Cummings and looked a run short at Donald first-up. Jumped a $3 favourite and will be sharper with that under the belt. He has an awkward barrier that needs managing. FUTURE SOLDIER (3) led and missed 1L at Ararat and will be better for it. Maps to advantage and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cool Charlie.
