Rogue Nation should lead at a slick tempo. OCEANSIDE (7) no excuses today back to the 1200m with fitness on his side. Jumped in trip when savaged the line late for a respectable second over 1400m at Nowra. Apprentice sticks and can get off the mark at start nine. INITIATE (2) raced with distinction on the provincial tracks last time in and ready for the 1200m today. Excellent return in the heavy (8) going with a closing second over 1000m at Albury. Can race a touch closer and shapes as a top-three player. INNA ZOU (5) improving filly deep into the prep and doesn't have to improve much to win this. Kept finding through the line with a tidy third over 1400m at Nowra. Sure to be thereabouts. ROGUE NATION (1) encouraging debut over the unsuitable trip with a game on-pace third over 1000m at Wagga. Since fitted with a solid trial win over 800m at this track. Maps well and capable of winning this with the 59kg. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,2,5,1.
