Good tempo with several going forward, primarily Family Ties, Hello Carol and Revolution Rising. REVOLUTION RISING (2) showed a lot of grit when getting in the final stride to score by a nose to break his maiden status here nearly 3 weeks ago. He has the advantage of the pole position and can take the next step immediately. RED HAWK (3) is resuming from a spell and usually comes to hand quickly. He was placed in 1 of his 3 starts on this track after making the move from Victoria and with more time to acclimatise, he can make a positive start to this prep. FAMILY TIES (5) will be peaking third up and was not far from the winner when finishing fourth here last week. He is down in grade and ready to put his best hoof forward. ANOTHER VAL (1) found some good form late in his last prep and will be even stronger this year. He might need the run but is still worth including in all combinations. REALTIN (6) ran a much better race for second after leading last start and is likely to be tried in that role again here. He has a good draw and will take some pegging back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Revolution Rising to win.
