Expecting Aerodrome to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. AERODROME (1) heavily supported on debut from the wide gate when a determined winner over 1200m at Warwick Farm in good style. Will hold a forward position again and should be even stronger out to the 1400m. ONE STEP CLOSER (10) was well in commission on debut with a close-up fourth over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Should have come on further with that run and expected to get through the conditions. Value player. DAMIEN (2) went one better at his first run back when sitting on the fast tempo for a dominant maiden win over 1200m at Newcastle. Looks to have further upside and can measure up again. WENTWORTH FALLS (7) finally drawn a low barrier at his third career start. Taken back from the wide draw and closed off smartly when an unlucky third over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Set to peak and looks great value. FORTISSIMO (3) impressed in both runs on the country tracks and gets in light with Nock's 2kg claim. Handles the going and will be attacking the line late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aerodrome to take stopping.
