Expecting a strong tempo with Captain Cat, Big Mix and Reel Crystal going forward ahead of Far From A Cry and French Crossing. CAPTAIN CAT (1) found the line strongly last time when narrowly beaten over 1628m at Moe at his third run back. Raced a short-priced favourite and is ready to win. VIVID REASONING (3) is also fourth up and assess him on his narrow defeat here two back. Draws out but will be hitting the line. BIG MIX (11) is in a leading metro yard and can show more with the blinkers applied for the first time. Was switched from the Sydney barn and needed the outing last time. LUCKY CHANCE (2) returns from a lay-off. Ran sixth in a jump-out at Cranbourne. Opened last campaign with an eighth at Pakenham over 1600m. Might need the run but include in wider plays. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Captain Cat.
