Only a moderate early tempo with no recognised leaders taking part. WELL HELD (5) resumes here but the form he showed in his first preparation was more than good enough to be competitive in a race like this. Stanley sticks in the saddle and a strong run while fresh would not surprise. MARCH MADNESS (3) has been thereabouts in all four runs since joining the new stable and strikes a winnable contest here. Looms as the main danger. THE HOME TEAM (4) has placed two of three overall including a solid third over this track and trip last time out. In the mix. FRASER'S RIDGE (1) gets 3kg weight relief from the inside draw and can give this a shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Well Held to shed the maiden tag.
