Unholstered should lead at a slick tempo. PRIVATEER (10) finds the right race. She struggled here last time when well supported but the 1400m likely saw her out after going too keenly in front. Her form prior over shorter reads well and she can prove too speedy this time. TREBILCO (2) resumes from a spell of six months. Looked close to a win before that break, just finding one better in both runs last time in. Any improvement this time around will see him very hard to hold out. CHOWDOWN (5) resumes for his second campaign having shown ability in two runs last time in. There's been good form out of his two races and this should suit. LITTLE RICHO (7) ran a solid race for fourth on debut here over 1000m and can improve up in trip. BLACK ACES (4) can run well on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Privateer to win.
