Pace strong with Ginnivan and Puli leading with Cut The Talk nearby. The feature of the day comes up early and last year's winner GINNIVAN (3) looks the one to beat first-up. He'll be fitter for two trials coming in and will find this easier than the Quokka lead-ups he tackled last time in work. Will relish the conditions and can return on a winning note. PULI (2) just missed two back in the Bolton before a 2.1L defeat in the Newmarket 21 days ago. Back to 1000m may hold the key and he looks a key pace influence off the inside. Racing well without winning and appears the main danger. HANCHI (6) bounced back following a disappointing run two back to finish 1.5L away last time out. May be able to take closer order this time around and can land the knockout blow without surprising. CUT THE TALK (5) was sound first-up in the same race as Hanchi and will be fitter for that effort. Can improve. GEMMA'S SON (1) looks well suited in this event and can put his best foot forward from an inside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ginnivan can win the Jolly Beggar.
