There should be a bit of early pressure with Dracena going forward in advance of Rothweiler. The well-related RAPID CHEVAL (15) (half to G1 winner Kovalica) was well supported on debut and just missed the placings at the Sunny Coast. Will have come on with that race experience now under the belt and where there's smoke there's fire. Keep very safe. BETTER DRAW (1) wasn't disgraced when facing the starter for the first time and Orman returns to the stirrups to navigate from the sticky draw. Can improve enough to play a role in the outcome. LARIDAE (5) has gotten better every time he has stepped out to the races and looks a genuine top-three contender based on the latest effort. MISSION POSSIBLE (6) strips fitter second-up from the break and can trouble the judge. AIMA SUN (10) disappointed last time out but go on the four solid placings prior to start the career. Worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rapid Cheval to shed the maiden tag.
