Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a keen tempo. TASSORTING (4) has been thereabouts in two runs back, just beaten fresh before an even effort at Pakenham latest. Back to 1000m suits and this looks winnable, go close. PULL MY FINGER (3) is racing consistently, with 8 placings in 11 starts to date. Hit the line well again here last time and should be running on. NEOTROPICAL (8) resumes having shown ability last time in, fifth to subsequent Golden Slipper winner Guest House reading very well before a spell. Drawn low and should take some beating. CAPTION THIS (12) was in the market on debut at Pakenham but struggled without the best of runs, she'd trialled well prior and can be a sharp improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tassorting to win.
