Cracking tempo with Lady Capitalist and Irulan leading the way. Tough contest with plenty of chances. IN A TIZZY (8) was well in commission at debut when raced handy for a plugging fifth over 1200m at Rosehill. Maps well again and with natural improvement can finish in the top three. ABOVE THE LAW (1) resumes from a lengthy spell. Finished runner-up at three of his four starts and gets every chance with the two trials. Can shoulder the 61kg and get off the mark. RIGA (10) indicated a win was imminent when he cruised across from the wide gate to finish a narrow second over this track and trip. At his top now with the key jockey change. Respect. LUPA CAPITOLINA (13) Almanzor filly back for her second campaign. Returns with the two trials and no shock to see her closing late at the each-way odds. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: In A Tizzy and Above The Law can fight it out.
