Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: Out 3m 1600-400 True remainder.  

Xaiambi has enough pace to take up the running from her wide draw in a low-pressure affair. TORRITA (11) is yet to get off the mark but it certainly hasn't been without trying. Bounced back sharply last start when beaten less than a length here. Drawn sticky but is expected to roll forward again under Crowther to give a sight. SAYERSITISN'TSO (9) never looked likely on debut in town when always well back but did start to warm up late. Toeroek's booking signals stable confidence. Watch for sharp improvement over the longer journey. ALI FOREMAN (1) chased in vain behind Torrita last time. While he struggles to put two good runs together, he was much better here last time when in the market. Also drawn poorly but deserves consideration. BEL OCEAN (13) is an Ocean Park filly on debut for the Bain & Taylor partnership. Showed improvement in her last trial and is drawn to get all the favours. Watch for market support. ALL TOO TRUE (2) finds it tough to get off the mark but progressed nicely second-up. This looks tougher but he's worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Torrita but wary of Sayersitisn'tso.
