In a race devoid of pace Canola Way will be prominent. COLORADO SUN (4) resumes and it's worth noting he only missed by a head here first-up last campaign over the same trip. Drawn well and has shown glimpses of ability. HELLFIGHTER (3) didn't fire in his stable debut at the Sapphire Coast when he was almost too bad to be true. Blinkers come off now and Keatings sticks. Worth another look. BRILLIANT BULL ANT (7) never looked likely last time at Wodonga in the slop when always well back. Had been savaging the line prior and was knocking on the door. Can forgive, watch for him charging late. NIKITA ZOU (8) is close to breaking through, last start finishing full of running to just fall a head away in second over this trip at Nowra. Has further improvement in store and can fight out the finish. GOLD DECREE (17) lacks early speed so could land in a tricky spot from the inside draw but if the pace is genuine and the gaps appear he could cause a late scare. SUGGESTED PLAY: Colorado Sun can return a winner.
