Chiba to take charge ahead of Apollo Ridge at a strong tempo. APOLLO RIDGE (2) returns from a twenty-week spell for a second campaign. Showed ability last prep, the highlight being a one-length third over this distance at Hawkesbury. Trialling very well and looks like he is ready to come back bigger and better. TRIPLE TRIPLE (10) ran a better race last start when beaten three lengths over 1100m at Gosford. Not a great deal of depth to this so he should be about the mark with the light weight. CHIBA (1) resumes. Well backed at all three runs in the maiden prep and returned two minor placings. Won a Randwick trial in late March and is all set for a positive return. TIBERIUS (4) is an Ole Kirk first starter for Bjorn Baker. His three trials have been strong so a bright start to his career is anticipated. Impossible to make a case for the other runners. SUGGESTED PLAY: Apollo Ridge gets the nod.
