Oakeys Choice has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. Tough. VAINSTREAM (3) is a veteran who showed better form, beaten 1L at Orange in stronger. He won over this trip, his only start here and with a handy 2kg claim, this is winnable. AREEBA SPIRIT (4) resumes and flies the track/trip. Maps well and is proven fresh. As with the above, the 2kg claim brings her right into it. ANTHRACIA (6) is a local who has been racing in better class since her first-up Maiden win at this track. Budler sticking aboard is a positive, and an improved effort is likely. OUR RED PLANET (2) is hard-fit and draws well with a 3kg claimer aboard. Finds easier than Canberra, and keep onside. ROC THE WOLF (8) has a 4kg claim and did enough first up to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Vainstream.
