Expecting a strong gallop with Mishani Reactor and Power Ace taking up the running over Wowit's Willywonka. EVELYN MAY (4) got the job done in town last time out and should find this task a touch easier. Winning hoop Cormack sticks in the saddle and should be right there when the whips are cracking. PIERONIMO (8) doesn't win out of turn but has hit the top-five at his past nine outings and is usually thereabouts. Can find winning ways against this lot. MR O'REILLY (6) went down but the narrowest of margins at the latest effort and will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the break. Top-three candidate on best form. MOONSHINE RUN (3) grows a leg for rider Zechner who has three wins and two placings from just six steers. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Evelyn May.
