They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. GENERAL HIPPO (4) was well-found at Mackay at the latest effort and looked good saluting over the 1560m journey. Drawn to sit up on speed from the inside alley and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. No reason why he cannot salute again. PREPOTENT (3) has placed five of his past six starts and is usually thereabouts. Has won on all going and should be going very close. ELECTRIC BRAE (6) has a handy record here on her home circuit with two wins and five placings from 11 spins. Top-three candidate on best form. ZHUANG SHI (2) will be rock-hard fit for this and may earn some minor money. CAPO STRADA (1) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with General Hippo.
