|---|---|---|---|---|

Good pace headed by Michael Faraday, Guerilla Warfare and Together Again, with Vava Vegas and Johnny Drama close by. GUERILLA WARFARE (1) finds it hard to win with just one from 30 but has been knocking on the door lately. Just missed when last at the mile here. Gets his chance. VAVA VEGAS (10) went close here two back over the mile. Can take this out. GAMER (6) claim helps and has been winding up strongly in open class lately. Worth following up. MICHAEL FARADAY (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 7 lengths away in ninth over 1700m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
