It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. RAMBITION (4) raced a $2.60 favourite at Wangaratta but didn't get into it after a poor start. Arrives here on a quick back-up and with the first-time blinkers on. He was narrowly beaten at Echuca before spelling and deserves another chance. The McEvoy yard flies at the track and presents VILLE DE LUMIERE (12) first-up. She didn't come up last preparation but has raced well in Listed grade, and has jumped out positively. Draws inside, and Coffey stays aboard. Feared. COAL RIVER (1) resumes and two starts back wasn't beaten far at Horsham on debut. He will have come on and has been fitted with two jump-outs. Capable of a decent return. SPARKLES (11) debuts and has jumped out well on the Pakenham synthetic. Has the blinkers first-time applied and despite the wide barrier is likely to race well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rambition gets another chance.
