TCL EARTHWORKS 1300m Track: True |

|---|---|---|---|---|

CONFECTIONIST (3) has all the form on the board, and makes her poly track debut on her home track. A good gate, and with Michael McNab keeping the faith, she is the one to beat. TOSS (4) has fewer convictions than most in this, and she will be peaking at her third career start. She has her first decent gate, and we are expecting her to figure in the top 3 this time. SNOW WATCH (6) makes his debut with plenty of trial experience under his belt, including a recent Avondale hit-out just over a week ago. Follow the market moves. HEAVY IS THE CROWN (1) has not had all the favours this prep after placing in both his runs during his initial campaign. Stick with him. AWAKEN (2) raced out of his class here last week and did not do much. He is better placed in this, and he is worth including in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Confectionist can win this.
