Hot pace certain with Willingham, Roma Green and Airworthy keen to take up the running. WOOTTON WAY (8) fourth-up today and ready to win. Surged late from last on the turn with a game second over this track and trip on the heavy (8) track. Berry sticks from a better barrier and expected to go close. HELLO CAPTAIN (1) building a good winning CV after he resumed with a barnstorming victory over 1100m at Warwick Farm in the heavy conditions. Jumps 3kg in weight for this and can get the job done again from the low gate. AIRWORTHY (2) talented colt who kept finding first-up with a gritty third over 1250m at this track. Gets weight relief with Wadick's claim and can play a major role. EVENTS (9) tough Maiden winner two-back, then stuck on well when third to the promising I Am Carrot over 1300m at Randwick Kensington. Expected to take a hand in the finish. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wootton Way each-way.
