Strong tempo expected with Apollo Ridge, Pombia and Stormzino prominent. APOLLO RIDGE (2) was sent out favourite when held up badly in the straight at his second run back when fifth over 900m at Newcastle. Finds a fairly average Maiden today and no excuses over this trip. LORD SEYMOUR (4) forced to cover plenty of ground from the sticky draw when a fading fifth over 1250m at Newcastle. Stable rider goes on and can bounce back here. TENDI (9) resumes from a five-month break and fitted with the two trials. Well placed over this trip and can surprise fresh with the claim. LUCKY MONKEY (5) last two runs on the country tracks have been okay and comes here in peak condition. Blinkers go on and can run into the minor money. POMBIA (7) could be close to a win after putting a couple of placings together. SUGGESTED PLAY: Apollo Ridge can get off the mark.
