Moderate tempo with Ariat leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. KATDEEL (5) has continued to race well from the Mark Currie stable, and after back-to-back wins in his first couple of starts from that yard, he was runner-up by under a length here 5 days ago. He is in a good space and can take this out. OFFICE JIM (1) has not won for some time and is having his first start on this track. He has amassed 11 wins in his career, and at this level, he is always an each-way threat. ARIAT (11) has turned a corner in his last couple of starts, including a third at the Gold Coast 4 weeks ago. She drops a further 3kg thanks to a claim, and another honest effort is likely. FORT WILLIAM (12) capped off some solid form when breaking his win drought at Gatton just over 3 weeks ago. Stick with him, despite the wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Katdeel should continue with his good form here. Each way.
