Moderate tempo with Just Like Rosie leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. SCIALLA (6) settled well back on debut and worked home strongly to finish a neck away at Mackay over 1100m. Should improve sharply and has the inside gate today and a handy 2kg claim. This looks winnable. SAY IT LOUD (5) closed off strongly beaten 1.3 lengths over 1050m at this track when coming back from a spell. In a sharp barn and has been kept on the fresh side. Stanley replaces the apprentice, and she's sure to keep improving. PULSATING (7) returns after a spell and the former Victorian started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1208m at Moe. Now under the care of Clinton Taylor and has a handy 2kg claim. Draws wide but has trialled solidly and looks to have top-three prospects. PROVISEUR (2) went well here two back but was plain over 1400m last time. Comes back 200m and Wiggins is a key jockey engagement. Has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Scialla.
