Command Approved should lead at a strong tempo. Competitive affair to kick off the card. REVALENE (1) looked good saluting over this track and trip last time out and again gets the benefit of a 2kg claimer in the saddle. Will be at peak fitness for this and should be going very close again. WARILLA GORILLA (7) has a solid record around this circuit with two wins and three placings from seven spins. Sure to get a cosy run in transit from gate four and shouldn't be discounted lightly. THUNDERING SOUL (8) returned in fine fashion with a strong Roma win when having the first run for the new stable. Can go back-to-back without surprising. AMENOPHIS (10) resumes here but has revved up for this with a recent trial placing and should be hitting the line with gusto. The well-related COMMAND APPROVED (9) (half to Golden Slipper winner Guest House) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Revalene.
