Only a small field with Better Blitzem likely to find a comfortable lead. The babies kick us off in just a two-horse affair where the top-weight appears to have scared most of them off. It's hard to knock the form of BETTER BLITZEM (1) who has strung three wins together on the bounce to start the career and is racing high on confidence. Winning hoop Aidan Holt retains the ride and should be able to dictate terms out in front. Gets his chance to add to the picket fence here. FELIPITY (3) just ran into one better at Mackay before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Rider Sean Cormack has been in the irons for both race starts to date and stays on top today. Can give a sight first-up from the break. SUGGESTED PLAY: Better Blitzem to win again.
