Lennox, The Right Way and Captain Maverick can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. CAPTAIN MAVERICK (9) registered yet another minor placing last start when he came home powerfully to get up for second over 2500m at Ipswich. Getting down in the weights and coming back to 2000m holds no fears. Big chance to break the drought in a race where very few are shooting the lights out. PRINCE LEVI (1) has contested four consecutive stakes races and performed satisfactorily. Last contested a Benchmark race in March and won over this trip at the Gold Coast under today's weight. Has the class to take this out. LENNOX (10) is the fresh legs in the race. Shared the lead and battled on well for a close third over the mile at Warwick Farm when second-up last time out. Drops 4 kg and needs this sort of trip now. ARTFUL GIRL (12) has been in work for a long while and the wins have dried up. Does enjoy getting around Doomben so on the limit she can sneak into the frame. CAVALRY MAN (3) was outclassed in the Ipswich Cup last start but can bounce back in this company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Maverick each-way.
