A few on-pacers lining up so it should be keenly contested.
TRANQUIL BAY (1) loves it here around this circuit with three wins and five placings from ten starts and has placed four from six when fresh. Revved up for this with a recent trial placing, draws low and gets 2kg off with the claim. Ticks plenty of boxes for this contest. AIR WE GO (7) has won two of four overall including one over this course and distance two back. Will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell and looms as the main danger. STATE IN TEXAS (6) wasn't too far away in Listed company before the spell and is sure to find this assignment more to his liking. Draws the inside marble and can give backers a sight. KAT CHINNA (2) boasts a victory over this track and trip and may run a race while fresh. LAYDOWNLILY (3) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tranquil Bay to return a winner.
