Pace looks to be genuine with I'm Opinionated and Volare matching motors in advance of Bonoyster and Rizu. Tricky race with many of the main hopes first-up or on debut. VOLARE (12) last appeared when down the track over this course and distance eight months ago. Opened last prep with a positive performance over this track and trip. Good chance with the light weight. OAKFIELD PLUTO (1) is an Exceedance gelding on debut for Kris Lees. A recent Beaumont track trial was encouraging. Respect any market confidence. PURPLE KITTY (3) is first-up from a fifteen-week spell. Opened the last campaign with a placing here at this trip. Must be considered. TAMPA BAY (11) hasn't been far away at her last couple and can fill a top four placing without surprising. FAST BLUE (7) returns from a seven-month spell and has been gelded. Impressed in a recent Beaumont track trial win so we might see a different horse this prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks a nice race for Volare.
