Expecting Prince Ragnar to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. ONEMORETWOMANY (2) couldn't bring up the hat-trick last start when beaten 1L after dropping back in trip. Back out to 1200m now is a big tick for him and Louis has options from the draw. Ticks plenty of boxes and can return to winning ways. FALSE STATEMENT (5) couldn't repeat the dose last start when getting a long way back and finishing 3.1L off the winner at Esperance. His win two back was very solid, however, and the form out of his past couple has been solid. He's a two-time winner here, and his best form should see him hard to beat. ZING TO WIN (1) got further back than anticipated last start and couldn't round them up in the Fitzpatrick, though he wasn't disgraced. Back to an easier race here where he was flying before tackling some strong events. Can return to form. SURE NO SOMETHING (8) won't be far away first-up. BIN SHALAA (4) is better than we saw last start and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Onemoretwomany gets the nod.
