Expecting Rail Trail to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. RAIL TRAIL (6) finished runner up at both runs back and comes here hard fit from the good draw. Led them up in the heavy (8) conditions before fading late when second over 1000m at Wellington. Finds a winnable race and the firmer track can see him get off the mark. NAFTALI (4) nice return when catching the eye late to finish a solid fifth over 1000m at Muswellbrook with the 58.5kg. Tempo and the extra trip are in his favour. WANAVAN (8) fitter after three runs back and looking for this distance now. Chipped away late when fifth over 1000m at Dubbo. Can take a hand in the finish. HE'STHECHIEF (3) has been trialling well so is worth keeping safe on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rail Trail to win.
