Genuine tempo from Holding Captive leading Kandinsky. HOLDING CAPTIVE (3) looks very well placed at his second start. The debut run at Geelong was very good, well backed there and giving a huge sight in front before just being edged out by a nose. He should bounce straight to the front and can go one better. Very wary of KANDINSKY (4) who resumes. He was very well backed in a strong maiden at Geelong last time in and didn't fire but he can be a sharp improver this time around. DETERMINATO (2) resumes. He was knocking on the door with two minor placings at the end of his first campaign and can run a forward race here. CHOICE ENCOUNTER (1) was just fair on debut when well supported and could be a quick improver with that run under the belt. TARNTANYA (9) resumes and wouldn't shock off a solid debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Holding Captive to win.
