Expecting a strong early tempo with Under The Hat and The Cuban locking horns from their inside draws. THE CUBAN (5) made it two nail-biting defeats on the bounce when edged out over this distance at Gundagai on Sunday after racing wide throughout. Like the quick back-up and the blinkers going on. Draws the fence so a long-awaited maiden win might come calling. HOT ONE (10) has been competitive in all three runs to date, most recently when 1.5 lengths adrift in a maiden over this course and distance. Sure to give a good account again. CANNY DEFENSE (3) has placed 2/2 over 1400m at this circuit including 13 days ago when he was strong late. Chance again from a better draw. DESERT OPAL (7) hasn't been beaten far at his last two runs, most recently when runner-up in a small field over the mile at Corowa. Back in trip but the blinkers should sharpen him up. SWINGING HIGH (13) surprised most when a game third over 1175m here last time out. Fitter and needs this longer trip now. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Cuban to grab a well-deserved win.
