Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. It's hard to knock the form of ATLANTIC RAIN (3) who has strung three wins together on the bounce to start the career and winning rider Butler sticks following that last-start Mackay victory. High on confidence and should be right there when the whips are cracking. BANG STICK (2) wasn't disgraced in town before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Is yet to miss the top-five in seven starts to date and has to be included in calculations. HONOURBEFORE GLORY (5) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but go on the strong Mackay win when resuming. Worth another chance. SARAQAEL (1) loves it here on his home circuit only missing a drum once in six spins. In the mix. NEXT LEGACY (6) best of the rest from the inside marble. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,2,5,1.
