---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine pace with Johnny Utah crossing from the outside gate in search of the lead. KELANOA (11) has been plying her trade in town of late and will find this assignment much easier. Drawn to get a cosy run in transit from the inside marble and should be in this for a very long way. ROCK LOBSTER (10) is first-up here but showed plenty of talent last campaign and this is not an overly strong affair. Can run a race while fresh. ARIAT (9) is facing the starter for the first time and any market confidence must be noted. JOHNNY UTAH (5) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kelanoa to salute.
