Expecting Hadouken and Wapiti to press forward and set the tempo. Most of these bring plain form to the race or are resuming, but DIABLO BOLT (6) is the exception. Opened this prep with back-to-back wins then got a long way back after missing the kick then charged home to grab second over 2050m at the Gold Coast last time. Flies for Jag G-C who has four wins from six rides. Clear top pick. HADOUKEN (4) showed a glimmer of form last start when he led but tired late and was beaten 3.4 lengths over the mile at this track. Drops sharply in the weights and is in need of this sort of trip after three runs back from a spell. WAPITI (7) found 1600m too short at Eagle Farm last Saturday. Veteran who is well in after the claim and should be about the mark. TAPILDOODLEDO (2) is fitter for two runs back and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Diablo Bolt.
